| So with this weeks super league done and dusted the focus now turns to the challenge cup semi finals next weekend. What are people's thoughts on the two matches and who do people think will win/want to win?

| If I were forced to put money on it I'd go for Leeds and Cas but I think both will be close games and it could easily be Warrington and Widnes. As for who I want to win to be honest I don't care I'd just like them both to be good games.

| Well I have a few quid on either Leeds or Cas to lift the trophy so those are the victors I'm predicting and hoping for in the semis.

| I'd like to see Cas win it. I think the style of rugby they have played this season deserves some silverware, and I think the CC is probably their best chance of winning some.

| Both should be good and close games. If I had to put my money on who I think will win I'd go Leeds and Cas.
I think I'd go Cas first off all due to that momentum if they've built up and the consistency they've played with. It feels sort of destined that they should appear in a final given the season they've had.
As for the other I just think Leeds are better in the pivotal positions (overall) of 1,6,7 and 9. I'd probably only take Monaghan on a good day to get in a combined Wire/Leeds team in those positions and Leeds are so experienced. They're hungry for the cup and have been saving themselves IMO.

| Really want to see a Leeds v Cas Final and I think that will happen. The only Final I wouldn't want to watch is a Leeds v Widnes.

Ohh I wish that were true!

| I am confident Warrington will beat Leeds, Leeds struggle for points against the better teams.
St Helens were all at sea when Leeds beat them in the cup.
The other game looks set to be close. I hope Castleford win.

After our debacle against the Bulls, any team from Superleague would fancy their chances against us including London.
Hoping for a Leeds win and the other Yorkshire team to win.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

| A Leeds vs Cas final would be amazing. Both clubs' biggest and most passionate derby game played out at Wembley would be immense - although the thought of losing is particularly unappealing, moreso than defeats to Bradford were. Leeds have every chance of winning on Saturday; they can usually stumble through semis, it's the final that has been the trouble in recent times.

| Leeds don't seem to have been playing very well recently and Wire picked themselves up with a ground out win v Catalans. I'd take Wire to win their semi.
Cas are a class above Widnes and even with Carney, Millington and probably Weller missing will beat the Vikings with a decent margin.
So a Cas v Wire final with the rehersal the week before at the HJ.

| The semis could go either way.. With all four going all out to get to the final.
I'd love to see an all Yorkshire final with Castleford and Leeds.
I do believe the winner of Castleford and Widnes will carry more nerves and less experience into the final which will lead to a loss.
Hope I'm wrong! I love an upset.. Because the Tigers have made such great viewing this season, shocked the league and have been the greatest entertainers I want them to go all the way.

Don't listen to him
You'll fight to the end and I can't wait to watch it!
You've got enough to beat Castleford if you're at your best. It's only 80 minutes, anything can happen.
Well done for getting to the Semi final. Just remember however it goes only 3 other teams got there too!
Who'd of thought at the start of the season you'd be in the 8 at the final stretch and that you'd be 80 minutes away from a final.
Well done for getting this far!
