The last game was a cracker that could have gone either way. I expect the semi will be the same but I do think Wigan will win.

I'm sorry to say you have it coming from us - all those times you beat us in semi's and finals with a huge playing advantage in the late 80's and 90's. Wembley 90 still smarts with me. I would not miss this game for the world, and if truth be know, I bet you are worried about facing us.

It won't be at Huddersfield. That would be stupid to take two "Lancashire clubs to Yorkshire"

Please let it be the Sunday game.

What makes you think Wigan have improved signifcantly from last years semi-final?

Which one? When Saints beat Leeds, or when Hull beat Wakefield?

The game is a long way off, and an awful lot can change between now and then. But if the game was next week I would feel very very confident that we'd win. As it is I am just thankful that we have avoided Saints and we are playing wigan the week before meeting them in the league. Wouldn't be too happy if the league game came first.

One game at a time. My concern now is how much yesterday will have taken out of the players, and are there any injuries leading into the Castleford game. The Challenge Cup becomes important again after we play Leeds at the end of July.
