The fact that only one team has done it shows how hard it is to do. Winning a series of knock out games against the best teams away from home is going to exhaust all but the elite.
As for Warrington, isn't it essentially that the team needs the comfort blanket of underdogdom to win? In which case yes the first round is the one to really worry about.
