| to be honest at this point (as in october) I'd take anything.
A trip to wembley and a single win in the playoffs will make Jdrocket a happy boy. : )
come May i may well have my eyes on the GF for Warrington.
I think we've proved we are capable of Wembley, we just need to prove we are capable of Trafford.

| Wanting to swap would diminish our achievements of the past 2 years and that is something I am not willing to do.
We should be proud of what our club has managed to achieve and to hell with anyone who disagrees.

Maybe you should look at who we beat on the way to retaining the Challenge Cup this year.
In fact, even last year, we faced 3 teams who were at the time in the top four of of SL, or certainly above us in the league.

We beat 4 Super League clubs this season to win it and 3 in 2009.

as already posted yes they have
Quote: Orrell Lad "The comparison you have made is invalid as you've compared teams that have competed in the GF v teams that have WON the CC. Add in Halifax, Cas, Widnes, London, Huddersfield and Catalans to your stat.
The GF is a closed shop
I threw in one team, Hull, not TeamS …if you can’t see the general Comparison then that’s fine.
if it helps make an exact like for like 40 year comparison and you’ll see only 12 teams have been champions while only 13 have been cup winners and the names are largely the same except Salford and Dewsbury won the league but not the cup and Sheffield Cas and Wires won the cup but not the league

27 games + 4 play off games(how many of them have wire won?) and wigan end up with a GF trophy to go with the league leaders shield slightly tougher I would say than the 5 to win a challenge cup. But I am sure Wigan will give it a damn good go .

so let me get this straight
8 teams enter this play off thing?
including the final there are only four rounds to it?
some of the teams that qualify can have lost as many as 15 matches on the way to qualifying for it.?
then once in the play offs some teams can lose and still not get knocked out ...???
and some teams can win and then miss out playing in the next round and go straight to a semi final.......??
its sounds very much like the play offs are an easier version of the challenge cup to me.....

| I'd put back to back cup wins over one Grand Final win. Back to back Grand Finals would be better than back to back cup wins though. I think if Warrington can keep improving at the rate they are and maybe can add a couple of strike players to your lineup, (i don't know much about your recruitment for next year), then you certainly have a shot at the Grand Final in the not too distant future.

| It depends on the situation, if Wigan go onto win say 2 or 3 super league titles in the next 4 or 5 years (hope we will), but don’t win the CC, then in 5 years time, a CC would become more important to us a club. (Just like Leeds this season). If Wire win 2 or 3 more CCs in the next 4 or 5 years but don’t win super league, then surely all of your fans would value a SL title more after it alluding you?
Stripping all of that away, if you’ve won neither for years and years then surely the best is SL which is finishing top of the league as this proves that you are the most consistent and you also being able to raise the intensity and win big playoff games against the best teams in the competition. (and I'm not just saying that cos we've just won it, it's genuinely what I think.)
Don’t confuse SL playoffs as a glorified premiership, which was IMO just an afterthought that most fans or players were not that bothered about.
