But they are doing a cracking job of hoovering up everyone elses academy players.

swings and roundabouts an' all that.

Truly awful. Warrington made hard work of beating them. Poor line speed in the first half should have seen them slaughtered but Wire had to rely on a dubious video ref decision to get them going.

WTF Saints see in Nathan Brown god only knows.

Leeds have a poor recent record in cc finals but the only time they've been minging is 2010.

In 2000 and 2011 they went in as big underdogs and managed to nearly snatch victory from the jaws of a potential drubbing.

In 2003 and 2005 they lost by a combined total of 3 points. There was nothing in it. It's fair to say with a bit more luck leeds record in CC finals would look abit different, especially in the 03 and and 2011 finals.

I don't think people should dwell on leeds recent record in cc finals, if they win most of the games between now and the final they will go into the game in better shape than any before, probably since 2003.

Sally has developed his own brand of trolling through irony, hence the comments about Leeds not having the big match players with experience. Have a read on the Wire board for all posters he's fished-in. He's quite funny.

As a Wire fan I can't wait. Two good teams going through and I expect a close competition.

A final with two sides who like to play an attacking brand of RL instead of WWF. Should be a classic.

And how many Challenge Cups have you won in those 8/9 years? None.

And it will still be none come the end of August.

Seriously?

A Warrington fan trolling us about not winning trophies?

Wow....

(Edit: Apologies if my avatar confuses you. That's the super league trophy, but I don't expect you to have seen that before)

For all the sensible Leeds fans, check Mr Wirethunders post history and ask yourself why a Warrington fan never posts on the Warrington board?

It should be a good game. Wire are the better team according to the form bok. I can live with that. In 2010 we didn't turn up, we at least owe Wire a performance at Wembley. Will we win? Who knows? I'm looking forward to a big effort from them though. Some of these players haven't got a lot of years left to complete the trophy collection, and I'd like to see them do it.

If I was you I'd go and concentrate on what you are well noted for across this site...sucking up to Wigan fans over on the Pie board.

The Challenge Cup has far more history that Super League trophy,which has only been around since 1996.

Just one victory in the CC for Leeds since 1978, pathetic for a a self-styled 'big club'.
