There may well still be a whole round of Challenge Cup fixtures in the way next weekend, but it is difficult not to look a fortnight down the line at what could be the most mouthwatering St Helens-Wigan derby in years.
Good Friday showdowns between rugby league’s two greatest rivals are never short on emotion and subplots, but this one in particular will be fascinating after the Saints registered a fourth win in five games to draw level with Wigan at the summit. Good Friday will not only be a contest to claim local bragging rights this time, it will be a showdown to determine who the early pacesetters in the season are.
