ANYONE ABSOLUTELY ANYONE other than Stains.
But if I had to choose then......
Huddersfield
Wigan
Leeds (just so they know whats it like to be the best team in the comp but an undressing team pips them)

The best team over the course of a full season ought to be champions. It would be a travesty if Leeds didn't go on to lift the trophy at Old Trafford.

Don't care, the middle 8s are far more interesting. The Leigh Wakefield game was a cracker.

Bradford beating Salford has certainly put the cat amongst the pidgeons from a Leigh point of view.

You will probably enjoy it even more next year, when you are participating in it.......

Agreed. We cannot win it now, so I'm getting ready for next season. Couldn't care less about the semi finals or the Grand Final, same with the Challenge Cup final.

Though I am really enjoying the Middle 8's, I think it's a fantastic competition and it's putting the Super 8's in the shade.

Thats just being a sore loser.... the middle 8's is a shocking league. only Bradford have beaten super league opposition.... and won't beat anymore. ...The only reason its interesting is because the points got reset to zero,and a club has the opportunity to be relegated from the league. ..

It sums British sport up. ...We are always keen on watching a good loser. ... and now we have people saying they prefer watching the tier of our sport instead of the elite. ...

Sell that to the NRL. ...

Your team's poor performances are obviously making you into a bitter individual.

Still the way you all bigged yourselves up before the season started your actual level of performance must have come as a big shock. Bearing in mind your recent performances you probably would have struggled in the Super 8s-Qualifiers to give it its proper name.

Problem with the middle eights as a spectacle is that nobody gives a fig about who finishes first, second or third (apart from the fans of those teams of course). Exciting as it's likely to be in the last couple of rounds and the final promotion/relegation match, it's a bit weird to have a competition where the vast majority are only really interested about who finishes fourth and fifth.

Jesus. .... I'm not bitter if I was bitter I would say I'm not watching the grand final or the play offs... and I'm only watching the lower leagues from now on,because I can't stand watching our rivals do better than us ...

I'm a realist and like most wire fans this year we never bigged ourselves up at all. ...We looked good in the world club challenge game that's it. I didnt think we would win anything and early in to the season I didnt think we would make the top 8.... as did many others so yeah we bigged ourselves up big style.

Sorry if I think a league of partimers and perenial bottom sitters isn't the greatest league in the world. ..

Oh if I was bitter I wouldn't want you to win the cup. ...when in my real world it would be superb to watch Mccarthy lift the cup... I just don't think it will happen. ...but you've been able to prepare for wembley with wins against easy opposition....Instead of hard games against top super league sides.... You've given yourselves a real chance by being in a league. ...

I do give a fig. I would like Salford to be relegated and Bradford to be promoted. Far less miles to travel next season.

not quite grasping this are you?......we all think we're rubbish as well as you.

it has to be the most pointless troll ever.

I would like to see Leeds win it. So far, they've been easily the best team in the competition.

And next year it will surely be Warrington's 'year'.
