I have a feeling it could be a Warrington Saints final.

Would we really want to be playing a Saints side suffering a cup final hangover just a couple of weeks away from the play offs? Not the best preparation.

My head says Saints v Wigan
My heart says Giants v Wire

I'll stick with my first choice

The birthplace of Rugby League (Huddersfield) v the most famous Rugby League Club in the World (Wigan)

A dream final for the media and neutrals.

I for one hope that the pies get beat,then you can all change your minds again and want rid of Nobby!

Regarding the most famous rugby club in the world,didn't they used to play at the most famous ground in the world?

Central Park is no longer with us,neither are wigan the most famous club in the world,surely that has always been St George?

I want to see a good final this year - the last two have been exciting for maybe 20 minutes each.

Wigan vs Saints would be my choice.

I'd like to see a Huddersfield V Warrington final. I think Huddersfield could beat Saints on their day. However, I suppose on a tactical level, we would want Saints to get through, as they would play the final the weekend before they come to Headingley.

I think if you're going to allow us to be there then it may be more exciting against Wire because they would really want to end their hoodoo at Wembley and these days us and them have some really great contests. Wigan and Saints have been close three out of the last four times we have played but I don't think those games have been as exciting as those we have played against Wire. YMMV

Fair point. It might also allow me to clap Morley with the Cup for a second time.

Roughly translated.
Wigan drew with us at KR last season.
They were the better team this season at the JJB (DW) and KR (GPW) and should have won.
They battered us at Murrayfield.

We'd rather play Wire as we ALWAYS beat them.
