Might be worth sticking a poll on this? Grand Final for me very closely followed by the Challenge Cup. Not bothered about the hub cap it's just a means to an end.
Having said all that, it would be very frustrating to get this close to winning the cup and not managing it. I think it'll be a fairly even game but I wonder when the last time was when a team won the cup without having to play any of the top 5.

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

For me, sadly, it can only be the GF.
It's the only one that matters to most commentators (for reference, see Sky's references for the past 2 years to the 5th best team in the league as "The Champions"icon_wink.gif.
I would love to say the Challenge Cup, but it seems to have lost some of the magic for some unknown reason.
As for the LLS - Whilst that *SHOULD* be to most highly prized (as it is - theoretically at least - the hardest to win) - It appears to be utterly dismissed and not even counted as a trophy.
For reference, see the numerous BBC references, all the way through the CC buildup this year, to Wigan's "trophyless" 2012.
It's wrong. Most people acknowledge it as wrong, but it doesn't matter a jot if the public perception (spoon-fed by the media) is that it doesn't count.

[quote="Headingley Rhino"]Great win yesterday at our place, there is no denying you are probably the best team in SL as you have proved it all year so I think it's justice done that you have got to Old Trafford. I thought wigan was excellent in the second half and showed why you guys are top dogs this year.: |

Couldn't agree more
Really riles me the disrespect winning the league is given |

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

All of them. It's going to be really difficult now though with our run in in the league having to face Hull KR, Huddersfield, Catalans away, Hull and Leeds in the last few games. Add the extra game for the cup final, then I can't see us finishing top at all.

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png |

Would take a loss at Wembley now if it meant a Grand Final win. No better feeling than lifting the championship at OT.

Some Salford fan said to me and I quote "You are by far and away the most Handsome & Knowledgeable Rugby League Fan in England!"
I thanked him and went on my Merry way!
