Play anything like the level we did against St.George, St.helens or Huddersfield (both home and away) and we'll beat them. No Super League side can handle us when we're at that level IMO.

Not nervous at all.... These are the games we should look forward too, i'm sure the players do, and if they don't they should not be playing..... For what it's worth, i make us slight favourites, and i think the great god that is Tony Smith is a bottler, for all his front.

Nervous. Can't get to the game as I'm visiting friends that weekend, but if they've got any sense they won't complain about me watching it on TV. They should be understanding though, they're rugby fans as well even if it is union!

Yeah.................Tony smith has really bottled it in the challenge cup over the last 2 years hasn't he??????????

Im nervous but quietly confident now, the thought of getting beat knocks me sick though!

I get what you mean. I think people are taking it a tad too seriously though. Whoever loses will have two free weekends to rest battered bodys on their quest for the grand final.

Not been onto this thread cos thought it would be another tit for tat wah wah my dad's better than yours but its not and has well and truely got me in the mood

Nervous???? - I'm scared sh**tless, Wire loosing Morley has made me smile though I must admit and I think we may just edge it

WE WANT OUR TROPHY BACK

I can't imagine any of you are nervous.

After all, when Saints won 4 cups in 5 years recently it was a mickey mouse competition wasn't it?

If they were any kind of friends at all they would buy you a ticket and take you there.

I'm the same, I think of the atmosphere and joy at Saints away and how much I'm looking forward to Saturday, then I think of the possibility of us losing and it's the opposite!

Im deleting my account on here if we lose. Biggest cup game since 2004.

For me the challenge cup is what I want more than anything this year, whilst I want it it does not make you Champions which has always been my bug bare with Wire fans

Not nervous, just excited. Today is dragging so god knows what tomorrows going to be like. Getting more and more confident as the game approaches though!

Been reading wires fan on their forum. They are hell of a lot more confident than us. Think they only have to turn up. COME ON WIGAN WARRIORS.

they should be, only the biggest and best teams win the challenge cup, they've done it a wopping 2 years in a row aswell, wow

why be nervous it should be best game of season and who ever wins will deserve it just hope we win but cant call this one

I dont know who will win but I do know that the semis are going to be brilliant. Theres a good chance of Leeds vs Huddersfield and Wigan/Wire vs Saints that would be pretty impressive and is a good chance should the "favourites" win all games.

I think going in as "underdogs" actually makes me more relaxed theres slightly less pressure as the team arent expected to win and that should bring out their better side. The last couple times we have met Wire in the cup we have been the favourites that could play a big part in the teams mentality. At the end of the day we don't know until the came finishes at about 6pm on Saturday.

I'll be happy as long as its a fair match and the team who plays best wins and not the team that gets lucky from the referee seeing/missing things.

Very true, but you maybe have should put when the SL era started as thats when most clubs started getting some decent cash in, and started to become professionally run outfits, before that it was fairly easy for certain clubs to win, in the amateur era as I ike to call it.

To the best of my knowledge RL went pro in 1895... Please correct me if i'm wrong...

And how many playoff games have Wolfs won in the what you like to call profesional era?

Get back under your stone

I am in France and crapping my pants. I would be much more relaxed knowing I could go to the game and the atmosphere could take the nerves away. On saturday it will be just me, my dad, a few mates who are union fans, and a TV in a bar. Oh poo.

i could have put my mortgage on it being you

The first full time professional club was Leeds. By the time Wigan joined them in 1991 we had already won 4 of our 8 in a row.
