Don't get me wrong - I'd love to lift the cup this year, but NOT if it's at the expense of the league, and I CERTAINLY would not trade it for finishing 1-3 in the league.'"
Really?
You'd rate a top 3 position the league but a GF loss higher than lifting the Challenge Cup?
Surely not. Let's leave the trophy devaluing for football.
I can almost understand the FA cup losing some of its prestige (although, having grown up with the FA Cup final being THE event in the football calendar, it pains me) because of the £££ the Champs League attracts but we don't really have this in RL.
A big shiny silver trophy, with a fantastic history (as Wigan fans you should know that better than most) over a couple of play off games EVERY time.
