v Wire Challenge Cup : Fri Apr 04, 2014 6:38 pm  

Will we be in the draw for the 5th Round?

Its a tough draw even at home but out of all the top 5 teams I think Wire on current form are very beatable. They appear to be missing our nemesis Briers!

We've had some great challenge cup games at Craven Park in recent years against them, so I'm sure its our turn to be victorious.

I'm going for us to sneak a win by 4 points

Heart says a victory, my head says a defeat. But i'll be positive this week and say us by 7.

Briers not being there definitely gives us a better chance for sure.

Wire 'very beatable'? Don't think so in fact I am sure being beaten will be the exception rather than the rule for them this year.

I'd like to think that Rovers will be tough at home from now on so it should be a great game.

Maybe your 4 point win won't be a million miles away but it still wouldn't make Wire very beatable. It'd make them 'strain every sinew with home advantage, top form and the bounce of the ball' beatable.

Can't see anything else but a 30pt victory to be honest I was right last week when a lot of people thought we were going to get beat

This is one of those matches which could easily go either way and nobody would be surprised. If we turn up, than we'll be going into the 5th round draw. If we don't, it's going to be a very long 80 minutes.

What will happen if we both "turn up"?

Re: v Wire Challenge Cup : Fri Apr 04, 2014 9:57 pm  

In 2006 I backed a horse in the national in the advice of my mum, it came in and mum was telling me I owed her half as it was her tip, I told her I'd spent it already and put all £92 of it on Rovers to beat Warrington at 5/1.

This time we're only 5/2 and my mums tip, Sunnyhillboy, has been withdrawn.

Won't be bothering, the omen is all wrong.

Pigs will fly.

Rovers, turn up? When did they last do that?

Last week.

Last horse I backed is now Loctite Superstrength.

That's a worry.
