| I've popped into my local bookmakers recently to enquire about Wigan doing the clean sweep this year,(League hub cap, Grand Final win and Challenge Cup). 12/1 they gave me so I stuck ten pounds on that.

I'd say 25/1 was a more realistic price, especially since they moved the cup back.

| I have to admit I’m not fussed in any way shape or form about the CC.
For me it’s lost its magic and I’d rather see us lift the hub cap. Although many will disagree the hub cap is by far the hardest of the three to win. It’s a real challenge of consistency, squad strength and mental toughness to go a full season and be the top team. More recognition should be placed on this trophy.
The goal for WRLFC and it’s fans before we talk about doing ‘the sweep’ should be to make sure we are back to back champions and get another shot at the WCC in Feb next year.
Have another consistent 12 months with the focus on the title and then next season talk about the sweep.

| Cup and GF double for me. F*ck the hub cap. Let Wire win it and claim they've won the league.

yea I do agree with this more, but I just thought it wouldn't hurt to have flutter on the sweap. Because for the past 5 years I've always backed them to win the Grand Final and that was never gonna happen, so you never know.

The cup means sweet FA these days
The hub cap was our biggest achievement last season and was recognition for only losing one game away last year whilst getting results against Leeds, Saints, Wire, Hudds, Hull FC and Hull KR away from home.
That’s what we should be the most proud about.

The cup means more than the cap.

I can't see how the CC which you win after five games means more than coming top of the league after all the weekly rounds?
I was more proud of us getting the hub than the GF win. When we won the hub cap I remembered the hard thought victories at Saints, Wire, Leeds and Hudds and that hub cap was a reward for being the best team from the first round to the last round. That really made me proud of the great season we had.
Of course the GF win was epic but it was more of a relief as that champions crown, imo, was already ours.
I'll say that for any team that wins the hub cap this season as well.
Hardest piece of silverware to win

I don't peddle the Sky doctrine. I've said many a time the team that comes top should be the Champions, but the fact is they aren't.
If we finish top and lose in the playoffs, what will we be awarded for this season? Nothing. Finish 2nd and play to the rules and we will be the Champions.
Rightly or wrongly they are the rules.
