Yeah but will the bookies take the other competition into account?

Probably more to do with the fact that we've knocked the current holders out and Wakey have had lower league wins.

more to do with us being at home and a better team.

and the fact we have been to the final of the cup twice in 2006 and 2009.

Surely Weakfield Mildcats are the better team,the SL table proves it.If we get a win it will be a major achievement.

Oh dear is that it?
We did after all beat your sister club Sheffield Giants in the last round and look forward to knocking the Huddersfield Eagles out this time

Still no explanation then, something else to take into account, we've won more games in this competition than you this season as well as in the league.
Brearley's probably got the most sensible answer with you having home advantage and nothing else.

Re: CCUP QF : Mon May 09, 2016 8:24 pm  

I got us when we were still 25/1 add that to the £303 quid I won on the Brierly hattrick at Wigan and would be able to buy 2018's season tickets as well as 2017 should the unimaginable ever happen, Happy days. Home draw was my preference and Wakey was the team, I would imagine Giants were team everyone else wanted to draw as well, that said we are improving slowly but not getting carried away after beating a very poor Leeds team, loads of improvement left in us yet but great to see the likes of Roberts, Mason and Johnson getting better minute by minute

Bless you are all upset that the bookies have us to win.
But yet bookies are rarely wrong....

Whoever wins I doubt the bookies will have any influence on this game, but if you believe they will you hang on to that thought

We Giants fans are a pretty tolerant lot and can take some ribbing with regards to a failed merger some 16 years ago but there are certain things that should not be allowed to pass.

Six games to three is 100% more. Stop doing Wakefield down - you're even better than you think!
