That why doing the Double is so difficult to do. And any team that does it will go down as a genuine great team.

Wigan vs Wire.

Massive game but still not a patch on if it was a knock out playoff game.

Have to agree with this point. The loser of this game will use it as major motivation for the play-offs/GF.

This is the one time where I am in favour of such a long break between round 5 and QF of the challenge cup as on current form I wouldn't fancy us at all! Either way I can't wait its gonna be one of hell of a day and a great advert for the game!

Obviously would have preferred an easier tie at home but its going to be a cracker.

Toughest draw out of the lot according to the bookies

You dont deserve to go to Wembley unless you can beat the top teams, so bring it on.......

you won't be missed!

well if the game was going to be played next week i would fancy dire to win. but 9 weeks is a long time in a rugby season> I hope we pick up our game before then or we will get mullered

Cracking draw. Shame it's come this early though. Would have made a brilliant semi-final and probably an even better final. Whoever goes through will be bookies favourites to win it

Would have loved it to be the final, oh well.

warrington are white hot at the minute, but this match is 9 weeks away. we have 2 key personnel coming back and it gives us plenty of time to build momentum. if this was to played next week we'd get tonked, but over 2 months away could alter predictions, a change in form, injuries etc !!!! bring it on, i cant wait !!!

Sure Wire lost a home game a couple of weeks ago.


Anyway remember a few years back when Saints drew Leeds in the semi final and at that point think Leeds where red hot and only lost one game all season and by the time the semi came around Leeds had gone off the boil and Saints turned them over. Saints then dominated rest of season and where red hot going into the GF having gone about 20 games unbeaten - only for Leeds to turn them over in the GF.

Same here

I'm glad the game is away from the DW given our record.

Just been on the Wire board, it seems the majority on there think they will cruise to victory with ease.
Let's hope their players think that as well (which I doubt).
