| 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.

| 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.

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

| 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.

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

"I agree, we should target top spot as next priority."
"Hope we can now finish top of the league, as this is the true measure of the champion team."
"That's my order of importence exactly as well. I have never allowed myself to be branwashed by Sky and have always called the Grand Final, The Mickey Mouse Cup since year 1 of Super League and will never change my mind on this. I am also slightly over forty and was a life member of the club before they took it off me when we moved to the HJ."
