I'd have liked to have seen a few more all SL ties to thin out the field. But as for our own draw I'm reasonably happy with it.

Tv games for me should be Leeds vs Crusaders and Halifax vs Bradford. Possibly two shocks on the cards there.

Fax v Bradford will be tasty.

Halfiax got into trouble a fee years ago for referring to Bradford fans as 'retards' in their programme.

If the flat cap fits...

The fact that not many super league teams have drawn against each other will make for some crackers in the next round though! 11-13 super league teams will be in the next round draw.

Wow the magic of the cup begins.

A 50+ points home tie vs Barrow. Really special and tough comp.

Play the reserves all the way through and concentrate on winning something that matters.

Behave yourself. This matters more than the league for me this year.

Above all else, I want to go to Wembley.

So beating one of the best sides around at Wembley infront of 80k+ people, live on BBC tv, to win the most Historical cup competition still going in RL, to be awarded a trophy we have lifted on 17 other occasions, for the club to get loads of money from the extra shirt sales etc. it would bring, not to mention the prize money, the publicity, the day out....... that doesn't matter to you? Would you not be proud to see 30k Wiganers inside Wembley with us lifting the trophy? This last happened in 96! I have never seen us lift the challenge cup at Wembley, it matters to me!

I am a Wigan fan. I want us to win every single game we play, that includes the cup, I want to see us lift the challenge cup, we havn't done it for 9 years.

I am one of those who will agree that the league is now much, much bigger and more important and given the choice it would be the league every year for the next 10 years over 10 years of winnning the challenge cup..... but that doesn't stop me from wanting us to win it!

I can't understand how any Wigan fan wouldn't want us to win the lot. The Challenge Cup is massive and for many supporters it's 'our' cup.

Exactly! That includes the nines comp! The reserves and the academy!

I'm pretty sure everyone wanted to win the WCC! So why wouldn't everyone want to win the CC!

WE WANT OUR TROPHY BACK!

Can I really ask why?

Getting another shot at making RL history and getting another star above the badge is what matters to me.

We’ve amassed records no one will ever touch in the CC and lets face it the CC=Wigan RL. No one will ever come close to doing what we’ve done and for me it’s a case of been there done that and lets push forward in other comps.

Back to back titles for the first time in a very long time is what gets me going not playing against Barrow.
