Could be because the cup is R.L.'s most historic trophy and its played at Wembley stadium where every professional sportsman dreams of playing especially in a final...
The Grand Final is played in a football stadium and the playoffs were manufactured by Sky to prolong the season and keep the money rolling in... |

[size=50:2fqgwsdo]"The mid-to-late 1980s and early-to-mid-1990s is the most successful period for the club to date, however, even without this glorious trophy laden period, Wigan would still have won more trophies than any other professional British rugby league club due to their successes throughout the club's history."[/size:2fqgwsdo]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_52674.jpg |

They were calling the Challenge cup a mickey mouse comp when Moz was holding it aloft 2 years on the spin... ![]()
Read the thread, most of us state (me included) that the cup game is more important as we can still lose to you in the league and still finish top and / or win the GF. Thats all. I would still rather win the GF, but to knock you out of the cup at the HJ would be a massive win for us given that you have played the best rugby this year thus far.

Wigan have the depth to cope with the fixture list.

Ssssh dont think that counts!
Would love to win both!
The cup game at the moment is going to be far more important than the league game. It will give the winner momentum.
The league placings will prob be virtually sorted by the league game but should one of the 2 teams reach the cup final then it will take one big effort to win the league game week after. |

There does seem to be an assumption that whoever wins the cup match will go to Wembley. I think 3 others sides will have something to say about this. You are certainly right about the league match the week after the cup final, assuming that one of us does make it. Who knows, we could both have egg on our chin by then. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I was there in 1998 but we missed 2002 for some reason, can't remember why. Whether I was there or not, Wigan have won the challenge cup 6 times in my lifetime
