Well obviously Warrington have a bye against Ryan Hall and a load of championship class players but I personally cannot make a prediction in the other game. Obviously I would love saints to win but Catalans are looking dangerous

Leeds' only mistake in their stealth attack on the cup this year was overshowing their hand a bit the two times they played Saints.

Other than that they've been deeper undercover than Hetherington's famed Agent Meli.

I fancy Leeds to beat Warrington. It’s a game Leeds will be up for massively and I fancy a shock. Hard game to predict but Warrington look clueless in attack. As for the Saints game if we play anywhere near our best we’ll win comfortably, Catalans are still an average side.

Catalans and Warrington to win for me in two tight games.

God....I hope not. The Pit Villagers of Wakefield will scream that Catalan don't deserve to be in the comp if we don't fill wembley

Catalans for me as saints could struggle against their large pack. Also, Catalans fans will be outnumbering the saints fans by 3 to 1.

Hopefully Wire although I don't think Leeds will be pushovers at all.

Dire are only rated by their gobby fans, the rest of RL knows they are only a slightly above average side.

Why do their supporters year in year out think it's going to be their year to win everything??

That said, I still expect them to beat fast-fading Leeds who are so bad even Salford can easily beat them.

In the other semi, St Helens will beat Catalan if they perform to their best, but Cats have been playing well of late so I expect a close game even with Edwards looking like he's going to be banned.

Warrington to just get over the top of Leeds and Saints to comfortably beat Catalans. The job Holbrook has done with Saints reminds me of the job Maguire did with us in 2010. They’ve been just ticking along for a couple of months now but I expect them to nail it in the semi and put 40+ on.

If Jonno were truly great he would know that the 'Warrington's year' stuff all came from the Sky Sports commentary team. Wire fans sing this chant regularly when we're getting beat in a show of irony - possibly something outside Jonno's life experience.

If Kenneth Edwards plays then Catalans win by 13. If Kenneth Edwards does not play then St Helens wins by 13.

Such is the power and charisma of one Kenneth Edwards.

Imagine if Catalans had two of them?

No, you want Wire to lose because you don't like your neighbour club.

The way Catalans have turned their disasterous start to the season around, dont be surprised to see them in the final

All 4 teams will be up for it next week.

Honestly don’t know what to expect from Leeds next week. We have history of belying our league form in knockout games but this is a different lineup/coach nowadays.

Being a Wigan fan I’d love Catalan to beat St Helens though I really can’t see it happening. I’m expecting a St Helens V Warrington final though wouldn’t be too surprised to see Leeds get there.

Leeds don't have the firepower to beat Warrington.

Catalans at full strength do have the firepower to beat St Helens, but I am not optimistic if Kenneth Edwards is banned. He adds a lot of fire and brimstone to the Catalans edge attack.

It'll need wire performance of epic incompetence (Cas 2017 GF x 2) for Leeds to make it. Saints have the other sewn up IMO.

Full houses give a sense of pride for your sport.

How many have we had of late in RL? Genuine question.....68,525 last year between the 2nd and third best supported clubs in the country and not a French or Canadian side in sight.

...in dilapidated stadiums?

Wrong, I’d rather them win as I think a Saints vs Warrington Final would be much more enjoyable for everyone and I think it’d be the easier game.

Of course but for Leeds there’s almost more of a need for them to win with the way this season has gone.

Catalan are capable of beating Saints but their problem is the play a very "niggly" game and consequently concede a lot of penalties.
I expect it to be tight for the first hour then Saints to gradually get on top

No not really, won't change most minds on how this season has gone and we've had plenty of trophies to celebrate including a couple of CC recently. Catalans have no chance of top 4 so this is there big chance not only this year but best shot of a trophy in 10 years. Saints haven't won or even reach a CCF in a decade and are so far ahead in the league they could rest players either side of Wembley and have a great shot of a treble.

That’s rubbish, so you’re saying that winning the Challenge Cup won’t improve what has been a dreadful season? Also there’s a lot of players with futures on the line so this is a huge chance for them.

So is making sure they stay in SL and most futures will already have been decided by now so the CC won’t have a barring on that. Winning the CC improves any of other 3 teams season just as much if not more.
