Home to London. Surely the worst possible draw. Defeat and minimal attendance.

Wow Doom & Gloom already !!

He who dares win, Rodney!

I would gladly swap Fax, we have HKR away, at least you are at the Shay.We face a big good hiding.

Possibly a tv match?

Is this round in tv or is it still red button?

At least Fax and Bulls weren't draw against each other, otherwise we would have been playing each other 3 times in 6 weeks (let that sink in) how on earth would the clubs have sold that.

Found the answer to my own question —


re: Challenge Cup Round 5.

BBC will have a match Live on the BBC Red Button Channel, Website & app with another game on Our League.

Main Channel TV coverage enters the following round.

While this might not be the best draw, it is far from the worst, might have got York again! or got the trip to Workington.

Should Fax have a good day( you never know which team will turn up) and London have an ordinary one...

If I can find a bookie in China to take a punt a small wager on blue and white.
Up the FAX

It's not the best draw nor is it the worst. Don't forget we beat London at The Shay last season and ran them close down there. Let's deal with the Rochdale game, build some momentum, and then after beating London get either the 'easist' draw possible or a money spinner in the round after. Up The Fax!

It’ll be a tough game, hopefully our forwards can get on top of them but they have some speed out wide that will doubtless trouble us.

London are my 'second team' having now been 'darn sarf' for over 20 years. They have recruited well this year. They've got some quality half backs and hooker and some strong forwards and have run many super league teams close in their matches so far. Unfortunately I don't us a chance against them unless they put out a weakened team..
