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.

23 - 20 - 4 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.

So what your saying is those Wolfs fans are only saying what their saying to wind up Wigan fans?

'I've done things i'm not proud of. And the things i am proud of,.......well they're disgusting':44022.jpg



So to target the next trophy on offer after being knocked out of another is suddenly changing your tune? Everybody knows the order of importance so a poll is irrelevant. Last time you won at wembley warrington won the LLS and it was vice versa last year. There isn't a fan of either club who would honestly take the LLS over a wembley victory. Personally, as good an achievement as it is, i couldn't care less about finishing top. There is a good chance you could end up with a harder play off match than whoever finishes second.

Heart = Challenge Cup
Head = Grand Final

Then again I come from a mindset that thinks coming top of the league should get the most recognition - how stupid am I icon_eek.gif

The challenge cup will always be the big one to me having grown up during the 8 in a row but I hate losing and want us to win everything so obviously I'd like them all.

The grand final is the biggest and means the most nowadays. It's the game that everyone remembers the following season, gives you the tag of champions and allows you to wind opposition fans up with regardless of form and it gets you a place in the WCC. That's an even bigger incentive next year IMO with it being hosted down under.

We have had an easy cup run with our most difficult game being Hull KR away. So if we win at Wembley we will have won the challenge cup without beating any of the top 5 teams. The Challenge Cup Final is probably the best day out of the year but it is nowhere near as big an achievement as winning the GF.

That said, in 2011 we beat Wire away, Saints in the semi, then Leeds in the final which was probably as difficult as it could get. For me the CC is always second after the GF.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery....... I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself. Radio 5 Live, Sat, April 14th, 2007,...Dave Whelan, "In Wigan, rugby will always be king" 'I was certain, positive, convinced, and yet..........unsure' 'It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it' Worry will not prevent destiny from unfolding.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3632.jpg



If we can only pick one it has to be the Challenge Cup, I love it, history, tradition, the occasion, the build up, coverage (even with Ray French) on national television, don't get me wrong I'd love to win the Grand Final, but it doesn't have the same 'feel' as Wembley, its seems more 'manufactured'...............IMO.
