Wigan by 6-10 points.

22-22

First Try Westerman

Lance Todd- Sam Tomkins(obviously if he steps on the pitch)

FC to win replay 19-12

Isn't that basically what happened in 2011?



Hull 20
Wigan 12

LT: Holdsworth
Att: 80,345

Just can't see us turning our form on after the last few weeks of dross.

Hull FC 24 - 19 Wigan

Wigan lead 18-19 before Shaul scores under the sticks with 3 mins to go

LT Holdsworth

1st Try Briscoe

Not very original considering this only happened on Friday v Salford (granted 12-13 turned into 5pt win)

We will see.

If Wigan win by 20 then I will have more faith in Wane and his plan/methods.

If we don't then I will not expect much come the playoffs.

It really does depend on if we have taken our foot off the accelerator or not.

Having thought about it and looked at our performances (sometimes painfully on the recordings) I am now minded to think that we have indeed been coasting for a few weeks.

We will see if I am right.

Predictions:

The menacing ''weegan weegan weegan weegan'' chant will reverberate around wembley minutes before kick off, as it always does in wigan cup finals, intimidating the hull players and fans.

Wigan to score first.

Charnley to score 2 tries.

Ray french at some in the commentary to shout ''HE'S GOING FOR THE LINE''

Wigan by 10.

"Look at that shimmy, that's what does him"

"And that's the best winger in the world he's just gone past"

"I bet Hull wish he had his hands in his pockets now"

"He's just strolling along saying "well there's (sp) only two chasing me""

Ok maybe not...........

Nerves/Excitement have just kicked in.

No chance of a blow out score. This a gonna be a very close game with Wigan edging it 22-14.

Are you an Eastern European?

I miss Ray French on CC final commentary. Dave Woods is a great commentator, but Ray is who I grew up on. Yes he's senile and hasn't got a clue, but his voice just means Challenge Cup Final.

Luckily we'll all be at Wembley so won't have to listen to Mr French bumbling his way through it. Dave Woods I can appreciate.

28-24 would be good

Wigan 29
Hull Fc 12

Att 78 756

Goulding 1 st try

I think we will get it together on the big day im predicting a walkover, with various key players returing to put back the pieces of jigsaw, we will run like clock work and storm to a 42-8 victory! With Super Sam scoring the first try martin offia esque full length masterpiece with Briscoe unable to stop him at the line.

whatever the score is, we'll have a cracking day as supporters of true clubs with great history.

Wigan 42

Gateshullthunder 6

Not bothered about who scores first or the attendance

It won't be anything near that.

Given Wigan's slump in form and Hull's upturn in form it's a close one to call, maybe only one try being the difference.

I CAN see there being a 10+ in the scores because the way we've been playing we won't get near but equally if we click because everyone's 'back' then I think we'd stick that on them
I'm not sure which way it will go. I think we have been doing some good things recently but then dropping the ball or picking wrong pass so if we can sort that and tighten the defence well be alright
Maybe they've been like that because they've been getting distracted by the final it's wether that long build up in your head is a hindrance

Got a feeling for a 20 all draw

Hull 24 - 20 Wigan

LT - Holdsworth

Expecting A Cracker Of A Match

No more then 6 points either way IMO.

I'm expecting a classic.

Close game , hull win . We're good defensively , and know how to win the big games when it matters . As long as our forwards match yours , I can't see us losing it . I'll go hull 22-20 , with a late Wigan fight back . Mom either houghton or briscoe who I can see getting 2/3 try's .

Sneaky suspicion we will nick it by 1pt - have not kicked a drop goal all season (although flopped a few). This is the game we finally get one when we need it.
