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!

Seeing as we've now won the Challenge Cup alongside the Grand Final in the past 12 months. Which in everyone's opinion is the better trophy to win?
Even before today's victory I'd have said the GF, and now having won the CC I'd still stick with winning the GF as being the better achievement in my eye's.

Grand Final.
The CC is all about the day out to Wembley, the Grand Final is the culmination of a season of hard work.

Grand Final. the cup is the cherry and a very nice one but the Championship and shot at the world title is always the big one for me.

I agree. I enjoyed today a lot more than I did Old Trafford, for the weekend out, and the atmosphere, and the Stadium, but the GF is the bigger prize. |

CC is more prestigious, has history for our great club and is a cracking weekend. GF is a bigger achievement so is therefore more satisfying. However, the cup run we had this year was extremely satisfying! Beating Wire, saints & Leeds is always satisfying.

Honestly, i felt totally underwhelemed by the whole experience today. Nowhere near as special as last year. Im still trying to work out whether its because last year was the first for a long time or because the cup has just lost its real magic?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I put both. The reason is they are both satisfying for different reasons.
The challenge cup is awesome because it is unique in RL, it is at Wembley and we have a huge history with it.
The GF because it crowns you as champions.
Both very satisfying.
If you asked me which I would rather win...... GRAND FINAL EVERY SINGLE TIME....

I'm still amazed that we're asking ourselves this question, what a great position we find ourselves in!

They are both the same for me. The GF is just another knock out competition albeit with convoluted rules.
At the end of the day both competitions result in a final to decide matters.
I also don''t agree with whoever posted the GF is the result of a seasons work. In theory you could finish 8th and win the GF and if that happened it has nothing to do with a seasons work.

It's just great being hated for being a supporter of your local team....:7407.jpg |

Topping the league means more to me than either of the finals. The GF is a necessary gimmick to make money. Priority 1 is winning the league, then the cup and the grand final is the cherry on top.

Bump.
A lot of fans are only just returning from Wembly now. So well worth canvassing their opinions also.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |
