If the OP means league leaders shield then Cup, if not then the GF.

I still prefer the occasion, atmosphere and so on of a Wembley win to an Old Trafford win - the whole day/weekend out just seems that much more special.

The cups great. It's a fantastic weekend or say out and it feels great to win it but the Grand Final is by far and away the biggest prize IMO. It says you're the best team in the country and by winning it you get a warm glow through the off season whilst your rivals stew.

Give me either any day but I'd choose the Grand Final out of both of them.

Growing up it was all about the Challenge Cup and in my heart it's still the one for me but the Sky Sports trophy is now the biggest trophy on offer and is the one everyone wants. 3 teams still have a very realistic chance of both, you would say that between those 3 teams both trophies will be won. I have a feeling we will be the bridesmaids again though. I think Warrington will win the Challenge cup and then Hull will beat them in the Grand Final. I am more than happy to be wrong though.

I genuinely believe we could have won the double this year if only we could have had some luck with injuries but it's slowly killing us. I think we'll give it a crack but go down gallantly tomorrow before limping through the rest of the year. We'll get a semi final spot in the play offs and we'll have to see where we're up to them in terms of absentees. We may have more back by then by how match fit some of them will be is questionable.

The trolls may jump on this line but if we had a reasonably full strength squad to choose from I believe we're the best side in the league.

Was always the cup for me especially as a kid in the 80's...

Nowadays the cup is treated like poop.

Moving it to August was a joke,

Mid Spring was perfect and still would be as fans are still in the good mood for the new season.

British RL is being destroyed by the people who claim to have it's best interests at heart.
