| Leeds v Warrington, Leeds to take the trophy. I can't believe Les Catalans have got this far despite being absolutely dire. Mind they've had fairly easy opposition in Salford, Crusaders and Barrow.

| To be honest it's so long away those games you can't predict anything. If they were in two weeks time like they used to be I'd definetly back Leeds v Wire because Saints will miss Eastmond and Catalans are dire. But come Mid August one of the sides may be struggling with injuries or Catalans may even have finally sacked Walters and be in hot form.

45658_1356296105.jpg [color=#FF0000:1fnfdzuc]Wigan vs Leeds finals aggregate score.
Wigan 178 - 64 Leeds
Wigan wins - 6 Leeds wins - 0[/color:1fnfdzuc]
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I am all out of bubblegum.
Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| Any announcement on where the semi's are to be held?
Wire will no doubt be in the final, that's assuming there semi isn't in Barcelona or they may struggle against a Catalan's side practically at home.
Leeds will probably do Saints, but a lot will come down to who's out for both side's, with the team with the least stars out progressing to the final. Saint's would probably rather face Leeds in the semi's as opposed to the final as they won't want to lose to Leeds in the CC Final as they have done in the Grand Final.

| Catalans v Warrington should be at Leigh if they are keeping it local.

| There are various possibilities here.
Wire could get beaten by the Cats, and we could all have a good laugh at them, as they had a good laugh at us in 2008. But that would mean the Cats getting to Wembley, and gifting the Cup to either Leeds or Saints. So, loathe though I am to want Wire there a second year on the trot, I think it would be a better final.
As for the other draw, it could obviously go either way. It's one of those 'who do you hate least' scenarios - and that can change from week to week. Hetherington, Lee Smith, Keith Senior et al are the w****rs of the moment, so possibly I'd rather it was Saints. But knowing Saints, they'll probably have annoyed us in some way before the semis. Granted there's no Sean Long any more, so that cuts down the chances, but Potter is a whinger and an excuse-maker, so he's a potential fly-in-the-ointment for them, and of course Eddie and Stevo could scupper their chances of staying in our good gooks if they keep creaming the ceiling every time Saints play.
At the end of the day, I think a Saints v Wire final would be very interesting. It would be Wire's best ever chance to finally dispose of yesterday's heroes on a world stage. But if they take it, that means Wire have won two on the trot! Bloody hell, there really is no way to win.

Barrow played saints, Catalan played batley.

I'm with you, it's basically a no win situation. I'd love Catalans to win it but they just aren't capeable of winning two high pressure games in the comp. Maybe the semi, but I'd guess they'd fall badly in the final.

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

| Saints have had the easiest path to the semi.
Toulouse, Quins and Barrow.
