[ia Wigan team that have played way under par for most of the year.[/i

I suppose every other team in SL has played at their best every single week.

Warrington , but purely down to home advantage imo

Same reason for me too.

Saying that Wire fans do appear to have developed a mammoth superiority complex and dissapeared up their own s in recent times so i'm not overly fussed who comes out on top.

I don't particularly like Warrington or Wigan.

I hope Warrington win though because I want to see the excuses the Wigan fans come out with.

My head says Warrington, but wouln'd put money on it.

You should try watching Boots 'n' All The Tries, Boots 'n' All or The Superleague Show.

Not having a go at your crowds, but they are clearly seen on one or more of these programmes every other week.

As a Saints fan I don't like either much so can't root for one or the other however I have grudging respect for the Wigan club, plus their supporters are miles less odious than Wire fans.

Too close to call maybe?

But Ive got to back the Warriors I guess.

tbf Warrington supporters in general have become total and utter plonkers. Being a Wire fan myself I cringe at some of the stuff I read/hear.

I stopped reading at that point.

Irony there Dico seeing as you love putting down the 'lesser' clubs.

Pro tip: Learn the definition of Irony.

Its become one of those national buzzwords like 'Hoover' or 'Jacuzzi' and no one ever uses it correctly.

And for one's information I don't put down the lesser clubs, I just dislike the town of Leigh and it's people. Further than that I fail too see where you gain your assumptions.

Berk.

Phipps doesn't actually support any RL team.

It's just part of his therapy to 'enjoy' some social interaction.

so you've met all the residents of leigh have you? sweeping generalisation muppetry of the highest order!

I just can't see Wigan giving us too many problems. We'll blow the 'Warriors' away in the first 20 minutes and then it will be hilarious to see what lame excuses their deluded fans and 2nd rate coach come up with when they are dumped out of the Cup.

Come tommorow evening,the Challenge Cup will be of no concern to the hapless Pies and they will be free to concentrate on the Super League.....not that they'll be winning it,of co.

Bookmarked.

I wouldn't bother, he's not even a Wire supporter. Just a troll.

Waste of hard disk space. WireWonder has to be one of the biggest imbeciles on all of the RLFans boards.

Feka is backing Wigan as on Twitter he said he's just had a pie and some Uncle Joe's.
I'm quite shocked by that, I mean a pie as in singular?

Looking forward to this game more than any yet so far this season – hope its a cracker (pity its not on BBC1 though)

Expect a close game and I have a feeling Wigan will sneak it

What difference does it make whether it's on BBC1 or BBC2?

You've got to give the advantage to Wigan with Wire missing Briers, his main asset is how quickly he shifts the ball and spreads play and Wire's two halfbacks today won't be as effective doing this.

Should still be a war though, I can't wait.
