THE Challenge Cup is one of rugby league’s most prestigious competitions.
With over 100 years of experience, the cup and its destination – Wembley – is often the pinnacle of a rugby league team’s dreams, despite the lure of a Super League Grand Final.
With Wigan Warriors the holders, they are 9/2 to repeat their feat of 2022 with St Helens the favourites at 7/2.
Because of Rohan Smith’s incredible campaign with the Leeds Rhinos last season – in which he took a side near the bottom of the Super League table to a Grand Final – the West Yorkshire club are third favourites to lift the cup at 6/1 alongside the Catalans Dragons.
Despite Warrington Wolves’ disappointing season in 2022, Daryl Powell’s men are being tipped at 8/1 with Hull FC at 10/1.
