noooo i think every dog has its day, we dont fear anybody inc dire, we are defo not the underdog in this cup round and beleive me they will be worrying without a dout,

Harsh, honest reality - Warrington are the one team over the last couple of years who have had our number. From the games between the 2009 semi to the home fixture this season they have shown up as the better side in those games. Even in the one we won last year in round 3, we were second best for 65 minutes.

I'm not unhappy with the draw as like others have said, you have to beat the top sides at some stage. I also like others feel the away tie suits us.

It goes without saying we'll have to build our form leading up to it but we have time to do that. In my opinion to win against Warrington, we need to significantly raise the level of aggression and intensity in the forwards. Hopefully Hock and Fielden may help with that but everyone will have to step up - we've been well beaten by the Wire lads in that area in past games.

The past few seasons its meant more to warrington for them to beat us than it has for us to beat them, and thats been shown in the effort and passion they put into those games and the lack of effort and passion we seem to (compared to them, im not saying we dont go in without any effort or passion whatsoever)

When we beat them last year at their place there was drive for us to win there because we had never won there in a competitive match before, we need to find that drive again and treat it as if we are playing Saints, this is a very important game.

Spot on, totally agree.

They've out muscled us each and every time. Like you say a rise in aggression levels and intensity in defense and when taking the ball up will be much needed. Do that and the game's evenly matched.

Maybe that but I think they have been the only side really to expose the fact that our kicking game close to the try line is pretty garbage. It improves when Deacon plays but still not to the standard of Warrington.

Its for the most part shocking, has been for a number of years now which is embarrasing

No. Any sensible RL fan will hope that no club ever wins a major trophy eight years in a row - or even four or five years, come to that. Long-term monopolisation of the honours damages the game.

I agree winning trophies is a real pain in the backside!

Noticed this topic lasted 7 pages until some numbnuts derailed it momentarily. Impressive.

As for the game, wow, its going to be immense. I imagine in Maguire's farewell season your players will lift for this one, and we will have to be at our very best if we're to win.

Can't wait. As for a winner ..... flip a coin!

Agreed! The match will be a cracker, just what the Challenge Cup needed!

I was joking, I can see what you are saying and I totally agree with you!

what a pity this game has come at QF stage, would have been a fantastic final. wish it was at wigan would be able to get more in,possibly all ticket at HW.

Considering our home record under Maguire compared to our away record, I am glad its away!
