They'd have to play a lot better than they did yesterday if they want to win their Semi Final, whoever it is they play. It was an interesting watch yesterday because it was close and it represented two big teams only real chance of silverware but quality wise it wasn't great and quite scrappy at times.

Will be interesting how Wigan approach the rest of the season. If they do enough to avoid bottom 4 but are well off the top 4 coming up to the split I can see them just throwing all their eggs into the CC (they haven't been to Wembley for a few years now) and resting big guns for the semi and potential final.

Nobody wants to see wigan in finals because nobody likes them apart from their fans but you keep believing it's fear icon_wink.gif

Warrington were yet again woeful but Wigan only beat them by one point & could easily have lost.
However, all their returning players will have benefited from the run out so that should see an overall improvement in their play.
If we do get Wigan in the semi, I'd rather lose to them at that stage than in the final.
But if we do meet them then & we play as we have been & they play as they've been then I'm confident we should win.

Lets be honest, there is a little bit of fear. Wigan know how to win finals, even when they are not playing well. That's why they are champions at the moment.

Also, look at the last time they won the Challenge Cup final. They played like utter rubbish. Somehow, Hull managed to be even worse and Wigan lifted the trophy. They just have that knack.

Not from me. Wigan were improved yesterday but looked very beatable. Cas worry me more, then Salford as a bit of an unknown quantity who might just spring a nasty surprise.

I'm not looking past our last final victory and who that was against icon_biggrin.gif

No, i do agree with you though in general, and it may well be the only thing for Wigan to focus on come August if they don't start picking up results in SL so with a likely full squad available by Wembley they would be tough to beat for anyone.

It's difficult to read too much into yesterday's game, as there were so many players coming back into the team. The only thing you can say with any degree of certainty is that Warrington are rubbish.

What is it, one major final win in 40 years without Sinfield?

Or without Burrow, McGuire, JJB etc.. i get why you bring it up, Sinfield is huge for us in those games, but until we start getting to finals again (hopefully this year) and seeing how we handle them now, it is a moot point.

Yeah spot on. Unless we're bringing back Schofield and co from the 80/90's then doesn't really matter going back that far, it's about what current squads have done.

Not all, he was instrumental in us winning finals. Without we would not have won one. But the more apt point is, there is nothing to say we know how to win finals without Sinfield, far from it, as our record proves.

So Leeds v Wigan final it is. Many years of hard draws for Leeds, this year we really have had luck with those balls.
