That's not what Gabrielle said, you've just got to be strooo'oong.

Its not though, havn't you heard that the challenge cup has lost all its magic, even the fans are voting with their feet as its struggling to sell out.

You ask any Wigan fan what they think of the challenge cup, they will tell you the same as what they told you last year and the year before that its just not the same anymore, its lost all its magic.

I'm sure both Sam and Joel Tomkins won't be looking forward to wembley this year, it just gets in the way. I'd be amazed if someone can point me towards a link that says either Sam or Joel Tomins is looking forward to the wembley final, it aint happening.

....And as if by magic....

hook line and sinker.

you fool

Expecting a win for the pies but Leeds always make a game of it.

Expect Leeds 14 Wigan 28
Hope Leeds 27 Wigan 20

Surely we all want Wigan to win don't we? Isn't the received wisdom that it is impossible to do the Double in this day and age....?

I'm officially writing Leeds off. Wigan have better players, are much better coached, and are in great form. Bookies odds reflect that.

Leeds 12- 48 Wigan

never a contest from beyond 15 minutes

not many people gave us a chance last year i seem to remember , forget form when it comes to a cup final its all on the day

You were +2 on the handicap last year, Leeds are +12...
