Anyone else think that the Challenge Cup final will actually take place at 4:30pm this Saturday when Leeds play St Helens in round 4?
It has been four years since two of the so called 'big four' played each other in the challenge cup and that was Wigan v St Helens in 2004. Credit to Hull FC for causing an upset and beating Leeds in the final in 2005 but since then St Helens have had 3 easy victories in the final against Huddersfield, Catalans and a injury hit Hull FC.
I think who ever wins between St Helens and Leeds will win the Challenge Cup unfortunately.

Re: Challenge Cup Final?
I'd agree with that...it's possible that we might "easy" draws all the way, but I almost don't want us to get to the final because of the embarrassment we'd get.MrDave wrote:Anyone else think that the Challenge Cup final will actually take place at 4:30pm this Saturday when Leeds play St Helens in round 4?

If we get an easy run, then so be it, i'd be happy to get to the final regardless of who we have to play to get there.
Lots of non SL teams left in the draw after the weekend

Re: Challenge Cup Final?
I don't think that would have been the challenege cup final anyway. should be a good game.
I hope saints get battered. not that i am unsporting but lots of injuries for saints please. The baily-graham contest will be good.

Re: Challenge Cup Final?
There is a possibilty that we could get to the final if we play the blind school in every round.
Get used to it since we moved from Central Park , the glory days have gone
sceptical or synical ( you make the choice)

That's provided we get by Barrow. Don't write the next chapter till we win this one. They are going well. We are not. Cup ties can be funny things, Jim
