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

Re: Nervous????? : Thu Jul 21, 2011 3:11 pm  

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.

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.
