Warrington to win on Saturday, Hull to win in the rematch at Old Trafford, both jinxes still in tact. Everyone wins

I actually want the opposite, the sport needs new names on both trophies.

Would be good to see Ellis lift the cup as captain.

I'll go Hull to win 28-20

Well that won't be happening this weekend.

Hull, because just like last season, it's Warringtons year.

Well obviously I meant relatively new names, Wire won the CC only a few years a go

Smith is a very good coach who plays the game in the right spirit - I hope Warrington win.

I think Hull's 3/4s look vulnerable to me not sure how they will go under the pressure of a cup final

They will still on the pitch, celebrating the semi win against Wigan, half an hour after the game ended. Says it all for me.

I'll probably make up my mind while I'm watching it. I usually do that when I'm neutral.

It's a funny one because doing the double with the CC final just before the big playoff games is very difficult. I've said before that the only thing worse for GF chances than losing the cup final is winning it. In that regard I think Warrington have a better chance of holding it together than Hull should they win. I think if Hull win then their season is over.

For the resources Warrington have, their three quarters are nothing to write home about.

I would say both teams are easily matched on paper, it will come down to whoever handles the occasion. I just hope Hull put on a better show than 2013, that game could have put a glass eye to sleep!
