Predictions for the result & the score.
FWIW Giants to win 28-20

Flip a coin for this one, but I’m going Giants by 6

Giants by 12

Replay - Bolton 8th September ....

Giants by 10

Bolton?

Are you sure?

I'll go for Wire by 8

Giants by 7

If warrington win will they be the lowest placed team since Sheffield to pick up the cup?

Where did they finish that season?

Sheffield finished 8th in SL 3 (199icon_cool.gif

Their record was:

Played 23, Won 8, Drawn 2, Lost 13, Pts For 495, Pts Agst 541, Comp Pts 18

Huddersfield 34, Warrington 24

So as things stand Wire could be the 'worst' team to win the CC for sometime, given that there were 10 years of Wigan before sheffield

Warrington would probably be the 'worst' team to win the cup since Leeds won it in 1976/77.



Hands off our record Wire, Fartown all the way.

And Saints

What about Fev in '83?

It was an upset alright and Hull went on to take out the first division title that year.

I don't have easy access to the old scrapbooks at the moment though and that'd be my only resource for the finishing table that year. Oh hang on just thought of another...... back in a couple of minutes.

Edit: Featherstone won that Challenge Cup while ending the season 12th in a 16 team first division, missing out on relegation by one place and one point.

Their record was:

Played 30, Won 10, Drew 4, Lost 16, Pts For 350, Pts Agst 447, Comp Pts 24

Just found [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982-83_Rugby_Football_League_seasonthis[/url which says Fev came 12th of 16, although it is on Wikipedia I take the table as being correct.

It's the potential winner.... for now.

Another thread derailed.

Huddersfield 34, Warrington 24

sorry



4 draws, thats some going

Sorry



1 place less and one point lower than local rivals Cas when they won in 1986

Can I just add my sorry

to Old Feller who has had two attempts to get this o/t Cup Final thread up and running. At least it remained a rugby derailment and can get back on track now.

Huddersfield 34, Warrington 24

Hudds 21 Wire 14

Is Tony Smith going to make the same mistake as 2005 by playing an unfit player in the final. Higham has not played for 3 months yet smith has put him in the team.
