Assuming Hudds win, I'd call Leeds the easiest draw. Should be a good'un

Nobody is counting anything but given that the two other teams we could have faced are above Leeds in the league and have both beaten us this season then it is only natural that we would regard Leeds as the most favourable draw we could have had. That doesn't alter the fact that Leeds have a squad full of talented and dangerous players and could easily win the trophy themselves. I fancy our lads to get to Wembley but I'm not taking anything for granted!

Don't quite know why some of our fans (Leeds) are concerned with Wigan thinking we are the easy tie. On paper we are the lowest placed team left, and therefore on paper the easier tie.
Personally (granted probably biased!) wire have the easier of the two semi finals. Leeds are certainly this and last year very unpredictable but do know how to win big one off games and get to finals since 2004 we have only had one season without getting to one of the big finals. Not always winning the final but do raise game in these situations. Who knows who will win either game. Should both be good games and don't think any two teams are nailed on for a final spot.

I think it will be a Wigan v Hudds final. The Wolves have had their best season form wise and are not a patch on last year. If I were you then I'd have certainly wanted Leeds in the semi, but don't count your chickens just yet...'"
-priceless- wire not a patch on last years team,yet we still turned you over at the jjb -again- then went to so called fortress catalan and did what no other s-l team has done this season,took there unbeaten home record off them and knocked them out of the cup, third in the league,one point behind the leaders ,cant be bad for side that is a pale imitation of last years team  |

[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 |

So you think your playing as well now as you were last year? 
I think we're playing better than we were at this stage last season. Granted you beat us, but I thought we threw it away, whereas last year you were the better side.
As for Catalan, we made them look ordinary at our place this season (they beat us home and away last year.) Would still fancy my chances of beating them away, apart from the run of fixtures we now face.
Hudds (A), Saints (Magic), Leeds (A), Cats (A) - win three out of those 4 and I'll be very happy.

so we're even in 2011, what's there to be embarrassed about? |
