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 |

| They really are confident aren't they. As they say, pride comes before a fall...

Sorry Shaun but these comments cannot be condoned and you should be ashamed of yourself:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_26685.jpg |

| The GF is the major prize for all SL sides at the seasons outset without a doubt and after that anything else is a bonus
The Challenge Cup is the next best prize on offer Kudos wise and it does carry a hefty prize fund for the winners
But IMO the CC doesn't get any clubs juices flowing until they actually reach the semi final stage,Some SL clubs are happy to be eliminated in the earlier rounds to concentrate on the SL competition safe in the knowledge that they could still get eliminated in later rounds of the CC
Out of the 3 competitions available to SL sides then I would choose
1: A Grand Final win without a doubt every time
2: A Challenge cup final win
3: A league leaders shield trophy
This trophy only becomes worthwhile nowadays IMO is when it is backed up by a GF win
If it isnt then it is merely a trophy that no one will ever recall who actually won it in years to come unfortunately

| The cups great. It's a fantastic weekend or say out and it feels great to win it but the Grand Final is by far and away the biggest prize IMO. It says you're the best team in the country and by winning it you get a warm glow through the off season whilst your rivals stew.
Give me either any day but I'd choose the Grand Final out of both of them.

| Growing up it was all about the Challenge Cup and in my heart it's still the one for me but the Sky Sports trophy is now the biggest trophy on offer and is the one everyone wants. 3 teams still have a very realistic chance of both, you would say that between those 3 teams both trophies will be won. I have a feeling we will be the bridesmaids again though. I think Warrington will win the Challenge cup and then Hull will beat them in the Grand Final. I am more than happy to be wrong though.

I genuinely believe we could have won the double this year if only we could have had some luck with injuries but it's slowly killing us. I think we'll give it a crack but go down gallantly tomorrow before limping through the rest of the year. We'll get a semi final spot in the play offs and we'll have to see where we're up to them in terms of absentees. We may have more back by then by how match fit some of them will be is questionable.
The trolls may jump on this line but if we had a reasonably full strength squad to choose from I believe we're the best side in the league.

| Was always the cup for me especially as a kid in the 80's...
Nowadays the cup is treated like Sh1t.
Moving it to August was a joke,
Mid Spring was perfect and still would be as fans are still in the good mood for the new season.
British RL is being destroyed by the people who claim to have it's best interests at heart.
