Supposed to be a neutral venue for the semi's but i suppose Warrington may suit Wigan rather than the Catalans
, why they could not play this in Barcelona i'll never know and even the few Wigan fans i know agreed with me.
Wigan should win this at a cantor and don't go off current league positions as Wigan have just been docked 4 points after discrepancies over last years salary cap.
I'm tempted to go with Wigan on the handicap but this is not the Wigan of old and allthough they beat the Catalans 30-0 just over a month ago, they will be up for this and probably make a game of it.
I think the handicap man has it just about right here as i am pretty sure Wigan will do the business buts is just a question of by how many and +14 is pretty near the mark.
Saving Grace is Catalans leading try scorer is out with a broken arm and Wigans transfer breaking prop Stuart Fielden is available after being knocked out last week.
But as its Wigans biggest game of the season and only chance to grab some silverware plus they will pretty much pack out the Halliwell stadium I'll give em the benefit of the doubt and take them on the handicap @ 2's.
I fully expect them to reach the final but once there i cannot see them beating the Saints in what should be a great final and a sell out at the new Wembley which is what the challenge cup is all about.
