Warrington are favourites for the cup according to the bookies. Having a semi against Wakefield probably doesn't hurt.

I'm sure Hull fans would prefer the Challenge Cup (to go with their other Wembley wins).

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...

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.
