[SPOILER=BBC Sport]Warrington lifted the Challenge Cup for the first time since 1974 after beating Huddersfield in a superb Wembley final.[/SPOILER]

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Some excellent games so far this weekend. Just the game tomorrow night to complete the quarter finals.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

There is the potential for a very good final after todays semi final draw Sirius ;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

One that a lot of fans want to see and that's a Warrington V Wigan final. :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

:Yes:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Shame you will have done it by having a easy time in this game tonight and in the next.

In fact looking at the way this game is going you might has well just book your tickets now as you have been given a bye to the final because we all know Broncos will never beat you and are only where they are because they played championship games all the way through.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

:D:D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Just turned the game off in disgust complete waste of time tonight.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

I remember a few years ago we had Catalan in the semi finals, before they became half decent. Everyone said it would be a walkover, so i bought tickets for the final in anticipation. What happened? Yep we lost, so i got to see St. Helens beat Catalan in the final :(

The moral of the story, anything can happen in a semi final :p:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Somehow I dont see the broncos beating you. So as long as long as we beat hull fc we will see you at Wembley

Re: Challenge Cup
 

And really your team should beat them Siruis.;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Guy at work today who supports the pies was telling me how he has already been and paid for his ticket for Wembley and that the pies shop is openly selling their ALLOCATED tickets already. Now i would love to see his face if they end up getting beaten by the Broncos next week. :LOL:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

That not going to happen old bean but you can dream about if you like.;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

How many times have you said that and ended up with egg on your face. Oh btw remember my pm well get ready for the poo hitting the fan. :LOL:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

So are you pie fans going to watch the your team in your bye this afternoon have you already booked your tickets for Wembley ?

Its a joke that the BBC and the RFL have put this game on in the Saturday afternoon slot. We are trying to get the game of rugby league out to the masses and they put what will be a complete walk over on. If they really wanted to advertise the game better they should have played the Warrington V Hull game on the Saturday because at least in that game they would have seen a real fight between 2 teams that still want to win. The broncos will be out of the game in the first half with a totally embarrassing score line that i predict will be at least 30 - 0 at that point and so will i feel the tv viewers.

So for anyone who wanted to dip there toe in the Rugby league world, i suggest you watch the game on Sunday night for a better idea of what the game is about Its on BBC2 HD at 18.00

Re: Challenge Cup
 

I haven't booked my ticket yet. I don't think it will be an easy game like everyone is thinking, semi-finals rarely are.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Lads at work are with me. 30 - 0l by half time and over 50 - 10 by end of game.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

People knew this would be a walk over when you look at the small crowd, that is embarrassing.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

:waving::D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

I am on target for 30 - 0 at half time. Off for my bike ride now as i cannot be arsed watching this crap.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

I'll admit I was wrong :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

:D:D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

I think it's safe to book my ticket now! :D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Well it's the TV for me to enjoy a certain win :cleader::cleader: and a box of tissues 1st class to send to thy most revered Siruis come the final.:bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

That was a complete embarrassment for Rugby league and i cannot beleave that there are pie fans already shouting how good Wigan were in that game. :rolleyes:

The question that should be asked is how BAD were the broncos and lets hope they are one of the teams to go down next year. They do not deserve to be classed as a super league team based on that performance.

I hope we make it tomorrow night in our REAL challenge cup match and then go on to beat you yet again with a plus it will be the game at Wembley. :LOL:

Unfortunately i have to wait till we have played a real team tomorrow night :D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Come on Sirius just buy it now, i'm sure you will win ;) :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

No way we are playing a real team.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

You sure about that old bean.:D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Oh come on your not one of those who thinks the Broncos were a hard team to beat are you. Next you will be telling me you have played good teams all the way through the challenge cup this year :LOL:

Have a read of this and see who you have played this year so far :LOL:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Challenge_Cup


Your first real team if we get to Wembley will be the Wolves, differant kettle of fish i think from the broncos :LOL:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

It does not matter who we played on our glorious route to the final but alas we are there and are waiting to tame the Warrington roar if they get there.:)

---------- Post added at 07:06 ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 ----------

You can only beat what has been put in front of you.:cleader:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Indeed, remind me of nearly all of our encounters over the last 3 years ;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

:cleader::bigcry::cleader::bigcry::cleader:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Come on the Wire

And what a difference in how many supporters are at this game ;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Surely that can't be a dig at Wigan Sirius :)

We will see who fills out their end at Wembley best in a few weeks. Just bought my ticket this afternoon :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

As if i would ;)

As for the game i unfortunately will not be able to go due to a family wedding i was informed of yesterday :mad:

What a difference when your playing a REAL team.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Oh deary deary me Siruis what is happening tonight.:shocked:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

This is what happens when to real teams play ;)

This was not a bye unlike yesterday

Re: Challenge Cup
 

A Warrington at his peak would have won this quite easily.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Well a Hull like this will rip you apart. Remember you got there by playing substandard teams. Hull being a real team will beat you hands down. Come on you hull :)

They have just said on the telly that this was a real game of rugby league unlike yesterdays embarrassment. Think they have that right.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Oh in your dreams old bean.:nono::)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

You said the same last night, good luck at wembley your going to need it ;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

You can only beat who you're drawn against, we didn't choose to play London. I'm sure you would have taken them seeing you couldn't make it to the final :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Well good luck against Hull and Silverspud your going to need it ;)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

I fancy our chances more against Hull than Warrington, so i was happy with todays result :)

---------- Post added at 20:11 ---------- Previous post was at 20:08 ----------

By the way, it was an excellent game today, a lot of errors but it made it very exciting. Good advert for the game.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Well there is still the chance of the grand final for a meeting of our two teams :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Yes that would be nice.:)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Wembley, Wembley, we're the famous Wigan rugby and we're going to Wembleyyyyyyy:cleader:


Shirt, tickets, beer all ready! :D I'll remember to take a photo for you tomorrow Sirius :D

Re: Challenge Cup
 

One suspects old Sirius is still crying into his beer drowning his sorrows.:bigcry::bigcry::beer::beer::waving:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Yep i have my hull shirt ready for tomorrow ;)

Considering the way you lot have been playing i expect it to be a lot closer than you think, remember this is NOT a team like the Bronco's :LOL:

Enjoy your day and let the best team win :tu:

---------- Post added at 19:23 ---------- Previous post was at 19:22 ----------

Not at all, your teams performance over the last few games tells me that you are not going to get a easy time unlike your passage to the final :LOL:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

OMG so where are all the fans ????

That's an awful turn out.

Anyway COME ON HULL :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Maybe they are charging too much for the tickets and add to that the price of transport and that might be the reasons for the poor crowd.

---------- Post added at 14:57 ---------- Previous post was at 14:56 ----------

:nono::nono::nono: COME ON WIGAN.:cleader::cleader::cleader:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Tickets started at £21.00 ? thats cheaper than at Wigans home ground, how cheap do you want them ?

Hull are defending well, Wigan are playing a real team for the first time in weeks and it shows. No 70 - 0 today :LOL: :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

There's a wooden spoon for you if you require a trophy this season old bean.:cleader::cleader::hyper::hyper:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Hang on since when are we are the bottom of the table or do you not understand what the wooded spoon is for.. Anyway You keep bumping your gums about us but you have yet to be right :LOL:

God help you if we meet in the Grade final, but i bet you get gifted that as well on your way to it.

Anyway well done Wigan easy win for you. hopefully we will meet you at the grand final.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Wahoooooooooooooo!!!!:cleader::cleader:

:D


Stop being so bitter Sirius :p:

There was 78,000 there today, only 1,000 less than last year when Warrington were there.

The Hull players really need to learn how to hold the ball :D

Heres the picture i promised you Sirius mate, celebrations after Sams try :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Thanks for the picture, and go on I admit it was a good game :).

Well done Wigan :clap:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Thanks Sirius :p:


Had a great day today, started when I was on the tube going to the game and Chris Ashton and Owen Farrell got on and sat next to me! Very surreal moment!

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Glad you had a great day, Wembley is always something special. If we meet at old Trafford we could always meet up for a pint :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Stupidly on my part I'm actually in Canada when the grand final takes place! :o:

Hopefully it's a good omen for us because I couldn't get to or watch the final when we last won it :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Enjoy your trip to Canada, i visited Alberta a lot when i was in the forces.

Re: Challenge Cup
 

So No Wigan in the Semi finals :shocked:

Warrington V Leeds
Widnes v Castleford

Re: Challenge Cup
 

The tears have not stopped since our disaster yesterday.:bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:

Re: Challenge Cup
 

Do you want me to send another box of tissues :). To be honest Leeds don't hold the fear for me that they used to :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

No we have plenty of spare tissues in our household as they are often needed for my other beloved.:)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

We decided to give someone else a chance this year :)

Re: Challenge Cup
 

:LOL:

Your game against Cas was very good and to be honest i felt it could have gone ether way :tu:
