Matty Peet’s side will be hoping for another strong run in the competition this season following their success in 2022.
They start their defence on Saturday afternoon, with a trip to Headingley to take on Leeds Rhinos (K.O. 2.30pm).

16. Can they do it again?
There is no reason why the Warriors can’t claim their 21st Challenge Cup title this year, but a big job lies ahead of them. They take on Leeds this Saturday, with the fixture coming just eight days after their 40-18 defeat to the Rhinos at the DW Stadium. A big improvement will be required from Peet’s side after such a deflated display, but no doubt there’ll be plenty of determination in the squad to bounce back. Photo: Allan McKenzie/SWpix.com
