With Phil and Johnny doing the draw whats the odds on us drawing each other.... we're due one.

It's our only realistic chance of any success this year so I hope we get the lowest ranked team and at home too.

I think your use of the word "realistic" is unrealistic. However, we can but hope.

The farce isn't those 4 coming in at this round, its the bye given to the other 8 that's completely wrong. They will be seeding it next to remove even the smallest chance of lower league teams progressing.

.... the rearrangement of the games involving the 4. A good cup run will be a big disadvantage in the league.

Every minute counts, system is fair.....unless your one of the four who have to play 3 games in 8 days


Incompetence of the upmost from the rfl. Didny peacock want something like this happening in the challenge cup?

And it's not just how well we or rovers do in the cup, if Wakefield or Salford have a good run we'll still be affected.

Re: Challenge Cup draw : Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:26 am  

Hmm will the rfl see we all get that far?
