think it will be giants 18 wolves 10 hope theirs no crowd trouble only time i can remember crowd trouble was 1990 and i have only missed one final since 1986 also was is 1989 when some of the fans were sat on the pitch side of the wall

Im actually really looking forward to it. I cannot call it either way and I think it will be a cracking game.

Come on the Giants!

I think even the Wire yobs will have difficulty making a major impact at Wembley. They had a pop at it in 1990, but no-one really remembers that.

A very difficult match to call, this one. It doesn't bode well for Wire that they simply switched off once they reached the final, whereas - on the evidence of the last weekend - Huddersfield haven't.

I saw that so many times during Wigan's winning run. The opposition would go into a shell once they'd made a final. Their fans would be celebrating and dancing congas all the way through other matches, regardless of the often poor results. Wigan rarely did. They knew that getting into a losing habit was not the way to prepare for a cup final.

I still expect it to be close, but if Warrington are anything less than totally focussed on the rugby rather than the occasion, I think Hudds will take it.

Wire have conceded an average of 25 points a game this year.
They beat us in the semi yet shipped in 26. We scored 36 against them a week later and Wakey ran riot scoring 40 at the HJ last weekend.
All that against the best defence in the League by a mile (15).
Just can't see Wire winning it or coming close.
Hudds 32 Wire 12.

Even if you go back to the semi final weekend. Warrington did try their best to give Wigan the game in the second half whereas Huddersfield were superb for 80 minutes. Had they played each other that weekend Huddersfield would have won comfortably.

Huddersfield are the favourites but Warrington have a more than capable squad to win this as you say it is all down to Wire to see if they can handle the occasion.

Wire all the way! COME ON !!!!!!

22-16 Giants, but i don't care if they win by 1 so long as Hodgson is picking up the cup.

David or Brett?




Seriously though I know we moan about but having too many Aussies in the game but when we get class ones like Brett it really only does good things for our game. Hes a superb player and would love it if he played for Wigan.

or Elliott

I'm genuinly concearned abot the warrington crowd. I go to the cp final whenever i can and usally wear my wigan shirt but i wont this year. We'll have a few little ones with us and i just want a fun day and a good game of rugby.

I'll go for Giants 22 Wire 16

Not really fussed about the score, I just hope it's a good game with a Giants win that'll do for me, 25-16 to Huddersfield if I had to say.

This thread has done nothing for me.......except start butterflies in my tummy!

Huddersfield 38 Warrington 18

Really hoping for a giants win in this one, and i really believe they will get it. Something about them in the big games this season, they are always impressive. Defence is brutal but unbelievably good, they are also gifted with some fantastic players ball in hand. im going to go :

warrington wolves 16-36 Huddersfield Giants

MOM- Kevin Brown

Warrington to open the scoring but Huddersfield going on to win it by 9.

Plenty of people tipping Huddersfield to win comfortably. You do realise that they're only giving 2 start on the handicap?

Warrington will fined it hard to score against Huddersfield there defence is harsome will go for Huddersfield 22 Warrington 8.

For warrington to win the match, they have to score more points than huddersfield. On such a big occasion, the giants defense will reach a new level of intensity- i wouldnt be suprised if warrington didnt reach double figures in terms of point scoring. Huddersfield have a gifted defence, i just cant see warrington getting the better hand of it.

This season Warrington v Huddersfield

Its a very tough game to call as are most these days! As cruncher said Warrington are perhaps a bit off the pace and I'm concerned about the match fitness of certain players. I'd favour Huddersfield if I had to choose but you just don't know with Warrington and with any kind of start I think they're worth a bet!

Urgent message for Tony Smith.............The reason you have been losing lately is because the opposition have been scoring more points than Warrington!!

some very fair and unbiased quotes on here.unfortunately for me,i've got this down as hudds to win by 6-10pts


we'd have a chance though if smith realises that a halfback is not a centre/winger and neither is a forward a centre.

btw,there are a few of us who appreciate a good game of rl,wether its professional or schoolgirl level and are not remotely interested in causing trouble.

personally hoping Warrington win,but at the same time,hope its a game that the neutrals will remember for the right reasons.

if any of you are going down,have a good day and if you see me,you can buy me a drink.(I'll be the fan in a warrington shirt)

Edited for accuracy.



Seriously, I hope you enjoy your day trouble free. I fancy - and hope - Hudds will win. In fact, I haven't been this confident since we played Sheffield....

24-10 Will be a low scoring first half but Hudds will rip holes in a weak Wire defence in the second half, COME ON HUDDS!!!

Don't go then if your that worried about the Wire fans, seeing as all you Wigan fans are angels.

Bookies have this as a 50/50 game and not one has gone for Warrington, anyone would think you dont like us.
