THE PREDICTION
What would have made a sensational Challenge Cup final will instead be played in one of the semis after arch-rivals Wigan and St. Helens were paired together. The two teams clash in Leeds and it has all the hallmarks of being a classic cup tie. Saints have injury concerns of Jonny Lomax and Regan Grace but they do welcome back Konrad Hurrell and Curtis Sironen after bans. They come into the game knowing they clearly had the edge of Wigan in their last meeting just three weeks ago as their defence were able to hold the Warriors and the electrifying Jai Field to just four points. They will look to produce a similar performance here and while the Warriors will surely pose more threat this time around, the Saints look too strong all round and they should pick another win and progress to the final.
