| Grand Final without question. No comparison. Would rather win WCC than Challenge cup.

| Grand final that's where it's at. Like asking would you rather have a commonwealth gold medal or Olympic gold. No contest.

| No chance Gotcha! I ain't having that!
The only time a wcc win would be on par with a challenge cup final victory is if it was in the Aussies backyard.

| Still the GF for me, as much as I would like to see some of our golden generation win the Cup and complete the collection.
Linked to what others have written above:
1) I would rather not get to the final if we're going to lose. I have seen all the CC final defeats I care to thank you! The many GF wins have more than soothed the pain, but as a day out it has become a bit monotonous. Sort of Hope-train-pub-stadium-lose-train.
2) WCC stays 3rd of 4 in my estimation. It is nice to win, and it's a nice reward for winning the league the previous year. But I would only promote it if we were to beat the Aussie champions at their best. Doesn't have to be in their back yard. But they're always a bit underdone, frequently have key players missing etc. Their problem, but it's hard to give it the same prestige, all IMO of course.

| If we make the Challenge cup final, I can easily see Leeds make a good fist of reaching the Grand final also! One final can provide the impetus to reach the other.

| Going against the flow here but I still really appreciate the Challenge Cup. We go down every year as a matter of course and love it as a day out.
We've not seen Leeds win since 1999 and only once in the last 35+ years. For most of us '99 was the last time we saw Leeds lift silverware at Wembley and there's now a whole generation who haven't.
We've seen the boy's win the GF 6 times in the last decade - it's time to add the CC to their list of winners medals.

| Its definitely the Challenge Cup for me. Reasoning behind that, it’s the first thing I ever witnessed Leeds win at the old Wembley in 99. For that reason its special. And since then weve been spoilt for GF wins.
But it would be nice to do the double this year!

Me too, albeit it was the 77 final for me. I just can't get my head round the timing of the final now though. If fans had bottomless pockets, I'd like the CC final to be played the week after the GF (in much the same way as the old premiership used to be played a week after the CC final, which was then the biggest deal). That would really make the double difficult and might result in a few surprise CC winners.

| Challenge Cup for me!
Growing up in the North East and thus outside of the RL hotbed (and without Sky) my only introduction and expose to RL was through the CC on terrestrial television. Similarly, would be the FA Cup over the league in football. That I will be old and wrinkly before my team in football gets to Wembley is a moot point.
The Rhinos are my only chance to get there with a team I support, so CC gets my vote!

| Challenge cup for me. We need to win this silverware after our recent run of failures .
I would imagine a Leeds-Cas final could well be a classic. The downside for us would be a Cas victory,we would never be allowed to forget it.

| A distinct lack of ambition on display... CC, GF, WCC and league leader's shield, but obviously not in that order. Ah, and the friendly thing on boxing day that I think also has a trophy!
