Been twice thanks, won both times.

[sizeJust not with wigan...[/size

... because it's not true

No,because Warringtons time will come. Another couple of seasons before we win a G.F. If am honest i dont think will win anything next season.

The CC will always be the fans, and players, one to win. Even Cunningham said the highlight of his career was lifting the CC.
The GF is little more than a cut down knock-out, where some teams get a second chance.
The True champions are the team that win the league, and though it pains me to say congrats to Wigan for that, it's just Sky and their money spinning media that try to make the GF big.
Would football have a play off at the end of the season to decide the champions? Think a certain Mr F would have something to say about that!

NO. as a fan the two trips to wembley have been amazing event. just waking up early, getting on a coach down there for hours then walk around a huge stadium like wmebley and then watch wire win. one word to say priceless!

I'd agree with what most on here have said.

As brilliant as it is to be Champions, winning back to back Challenge Cups is a fantastic achievement.

Who have we had to beat? You are kidding aren't you? Last year we had to beat Wigan in the Semis and this year we had Leeds, the (debatably now I grant you but) best team in SL in the final? Think about what you are saying please.

Of course winning the GF and SL is special. Of course I would love Warrington to win both. Frankly I am happy for us to win ANYTHING. Beats an empty cabinet.

I think I am old school though. Having watched the Wire for over 20 years, the CC and Wembley will always be special. I still get goosebumps when I remember that journey, that game and that win. Incidently I think it is Wembley that 'makes it'. The years when the CC was played elsewhere didin't appear to have the same magic?

In all honesty why compare. A winner's medal is a winner's medal. The Warrington players do have 2 back to back ones to clean however?

Could that be because we didn't compete in any of those finals? I wonder what people would answer to this question if we appeared in and lost both finals next year, or even lost one and won the other?

Probably cos I'm a bit younger so wasn't around for all the Wigan dominance in the CC. But for me the GF means a hell of a lot more, but as I say thats just me.

I agree though, both are very special. My point is though which (as a player) would you feel looking back on your career as a greater achievement?



Wigan who were a poor side last year. Leeds who haven't been the best this year.

But for what its worth, I don't think anyone could have beaten you in either cup.

C C ,you win 6 games some against very low league competitors and get a trophy. The G F means you have to win at least 15 games (nearer 2 dozen in Wigans case)to get to the play off stage then win another 2 or 3 against the top 8 teams in Europe to be crowned winners !!! No comparison.

I'd rather be SuperLeague Champions. Mind you, Back to Back CC winners is awesome too.

It is a point because Old Trafford never sells out for the Grand Final, so it wouldn't matter if it could hold 100,000.

Before we'd been to Wembley and won the cup, I'd have chosen Wembley everytime. Now we've done it twice, I'd happily swap Wembley for a third time for a Grand Final. As Bondi says, neither us nor Wigan should be jealous of one another as we've both achieved great things this season.
