Pick one or two sides.

I picked Catalans.
They're now consistently up there in the league table but can't quite manage to push on and get a place in a final. Would be good to see them there I think.

Catalans have already made it to the final in recent seasons?

Yes, in 2007. I was there with the Catalans fans.

On that occasion we saw the first rugby league try ever scored by a Muslim (Younes Khattabi) at Wembley.

My ideal final would be Hull v Wigan, but it would be nice if London got there.

expensive for me....but worth every penny!

Ideal cup rounds from here on out IMO Sheffield vs London


1 vs 2
3 vs 4

Any of the first 4 will take a good support of their own to the final. The other 4 will get the neutrals behind them.

No thanks. For the sake of the financial state of the game it has to be two out of Wire, Wigan, and Hull.

Widnes at Wembley would be great - haven't been there since 1993 so it's been a while. Sheffield were there after us (199icon_cool.gif but I'd like to see them make a return this year too!

6 Finals to date at the New Wembley.....2nd highest attended featured Catalan...3 lowest featured Wire (2) and Wigan...and Hulls last final drew 989 more fans than Londons!

I would counter that a Non-heartland team would be beneficial to the sport..........unless your happy with the northern stereotype being reinforced

Yes but that one included me , and I wont be going this time

, already visited yesterday to see history being made

It's nice to see the spoils spread about but one also needs a good attendance,on that basis,I don't really want Warrington there again,I'm happy for Wigan to get to the Grand Final and perhaps play Huddersfield,so I wouldn't mind Hull v Catalans - although I want Sheffield and London to make some money from the next round.

prepare to be disapointed!

On which planet are Catalans 'unfancied'?

Sitting 5th, above Hull, Widnes and London (and obviously Sheffield), on their day very strong and a serious threat, especially if at home. Just scored 92 against York.

Oh yeah, it's just more of Capdouze's guff fishing for French fancies.

Would love to see London there! See if the media can get the people of London inside the stadium! Obviously against the Giants as again our club need a trophey to help us with our crowd issues!

I bet that made a few of the northerners gulp over there breakfast pie and greasy brew

Wouldn't mind Widnes getting there but i'd be happy with any of those teams giving us an underdog story.

Widnes - to prove all their doubters wrong.

Wigan v Warrington is probably the only match which could sell it out.

Still don't see the point in Catalans being in it when it was originally intended to be a domestic comp, and London's just a waste of time. Doesn't even bare thinking about them reaching the Semis - 500 max fans from them for it?

Rubbish.

we are yet to see the long awaited wire v wigan in a final but i think a wire v widnes final would be special

And, quite patently, you never will

PRINCIPLES V FACTS.....who will win?




Challenge cup final is a neutrals event.....it's the beauty of the comp in that we all attend regardless of who makes the final........with one or two principled exceptions
