i would prefer us to play hull

Hull without doubt although a win wouldn't mean as much.

It would be so tense against Wire and the game probably wouldn't be that enjoyable due to that but my word, what a feeling a win in that game would be!

There used to be a phrase, to win the Cup you have to beat the best. I don't believe that any more. Leeds won the CC against a very poor London side. We've got to the final by beating an even worse London side. Half of the teams we beat in the final in the 90s made poor opponents.

But in this case I think either Hull or Wire would present a tremendous challenge.

I'd like Hull too, as they have less recent Wembley experience than Warrington, but we currently have a monkey on our back about not being able to beat the big teams. So let's hope for the Wolves, then we'll have the perfect opportunity to get rid of it once and for all.

Hull.

Losing to wire would be an all time low for me personally. It would take a long time to get over it. The tension of the game would be so much it would probably ruin the spectacle for me. Head in hands for 80 minutes

No brainer for me but that is because I live in Warrington - the local rag already thinks nothing happens around here if it doesn't have a blue & yellow shirt on so we'd never hear the rest of it

Warrington.

We have a big point to prove.

This for me! Couldn't take losing to Warrington at Wembley!

Don't care....

This. And this final is one that has somehow managed to escape these teams too many times already.

Not d. This game has all the makings of a Warrington win though.

Looking like it could again unfortunately

I could live with us waiting until October for it.

It's true that i don't care who we play... But i gave whoop of delight at the thought of the deflated Wire fans...

When Miller knocked it out I gave a little cheer

It's unbelievable how this Wigan vs Wire final eludes the game.

Made up Hull have won though.

you all say this like it's a god given that it has to happen?

Whhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Quote ="smudgersmith"Cheers Nicky, how would a defeat feel against poor old Hull then? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22439890'" It would feel pretty bad but nowhere near as bad as it would have against Wire. I'd actually be pretty pleased for the Hull club for starters.

Stats say it should happen or should have happened by now. The two sides that have finished one and two on the league ladder now for the past three years. One of the two have also been involved in every final in the last three seasons apart from the GF of 2011 when it was yourselves and Saints.

Sorry, but have to pull you up on this.

Perhaps the reason that we 'only' had to get past London in the '99 Final, was that we had knocked out all the leading contenders on the way??

...Wigan, St Helens and Bradford (plus Widnes) were all knocked out by that Leeds side on the way to Wembley. Probably one of the toughest routes to winning the Cup in the modern era.

Then I must also pull you up on that assertion too. Our win in 2011 came at the expense of Bradford, Warrington, St Helens and of course yourselves in the final. A similarly, if not tougher run than you had in 1999.

Personally I consider Leeds to be our biggest rivals and look forward to games against them more than Derbys (the sheer amount of them has ruined the occasion imo), however we have beaten them in a big final already and it would be nice to get the 1980 monkey off our backs.

Absolutely.

Hence why I said 'one of the toughest', because your 2011 run was very difficult also.
