they should be, only the biggest and best teams win the challenge cup, they've done it a wopping 2 years in a row aswell, wow

why be nervous it should be best game of season and who ever wins will deserve it just hope we win but cant call this one

I dont know who will win but I do know that the semis are going to be brilliant. Theres a good chance of Leeds vs Huddersfield and Wigan/Wire vs Saints that would be pretty impressive and is a good chance should the "favourites" win all games.

I think going in as "underdogs" actually makes me more relaxed theres slightly less pressure as the team arent expected to win and that should bring out their better side. The last couple times we have met Wire in the cup we have been the favourites that could play a big part in the teams mentality. At the end of the day we don't know until the came finishes at about 6pm on Saturday.

I'll be happy as long as its a fair match and the team who plays best wins and not the team that gets lucky from the referee seeing/missing things.

Very true, but you maybe have should put when the SL era started as thats when most clubs started getting some decent cash in, and started to become professionally run outfits, before that it was fairly easy for certain clubs to win, in the amateur era as I ike to call it.

To the best of my knowledge RL went pro in 1895... Please correct me if i'm wrong...

And how many playoff games have Wolfs won in the what you like to call profesional era?

Get back under your stone

I am in France and crapping my pants. I would be much more relaxed knowing I could go to the game and the atmosphere could take the nerves away. On saturday it will be just me, my dad, a few mates who are union fans, and a TV in a bar. Oh poo.

i could have put my mortgage on it being you

The first full time professional club was Leeds. By the time Wigan joined them in 1991 we had already won 4 of our 8 in a row.

Don't try and squirm out of this with facts, we bought all our trophies! FACT.

the bookies have us (warrington) as underdogs

They don't mate Wire have been favs to win the cup for sometime.

Wigan have 4 point start in some places and are 5/4 to win.

We are best price of 4/5

Correct. We've been fully professional since 1872 when we were founded and have done nothing but buy overseas players on big wages ever since. We made history in 1906 when we broke the salary cap some 90 years before it was invented. We have never done anything positive for the game and if it wasn't for us being the richest team in the World we wouldn't have won anything.

Fixed for accuracy.

Fail

Your current owners aint exactly poor though...

Stones and glass houses come to mind.... Better to stay quiet and be thought an idiot, than share your thoughts and prove it. Jog on.

Why do you all bite? he is clearly just a troll that gets nothing but satisfaction from you all responding, he's probably sat there now sniffing his mums drawers and masturbating over his sister whilst reading your responses. don't give him the pleasure

I dont know how this muppet hasn't been banned yet, even his own fans think he's an idiot.

Quite an acchievement when you think about it, uniting Wigan and Wire fans on this of all weeks...

You should be all a little less nervous now as Lee Briers is OUT of tomorrows game along with Ben Harrison.

Believe it when I see it. I hope they both play.

love all this silly game playing - its like the bloody okey cokey with who is out and who is in blah blah blah.
Listen - que sera sera, we will play whatever is put in front of us.

To be fair most of the rumours on our board about players being out usually turn out to be true.

your probably right mate but the result will depend on the best team performance on the day not the fact that a couple of injuries have kept players out. Its not a one man show at wire or wigan , unlike cas.
