A great marketing opportunity lost!

........or an opportunity for the powers that be to (try to) avoid all the best sides knocking each other out of the Cup and allowing, thereby, an unfancied side from 'the wrong side of the tracks' (i.e. non-SL clubs) from reaching Wembley. Or am I being unnecessarily cynical?

You are being cynical, I am not sure that it is unecessary

so when will the draw officially be announced?

you got us according to our fans site ..... at the jungle.....

where is the full draw?

Just heared draw cancelled. Nigel Wood exploded halfway through the draw, balls everywhere.
Draw to be decided by a panel of experts headed by Maurice "swings both ways......likes men and boys

Gateshead v Oldham

Batley v Salford

Castleford v Halifax

Featherstone v Warrington

St Helens v Catalans Dragons

Huddersfield v Rochdale

Hull KR v Sheffield

Wakefield v Wigan

Well that's a big anti climax

i thought it was tonight at 8 pm, sounds a bit fishy, why didnt they do it at half time in either televised match on sunday ?

because that would have been the natural most open & honest way of doing it....... not one of the RFL's mission statements

ahhh i get it now, i'm new to this corrupt mentality of the RFL, thanks for clearing it up.

wouldnt say they are corrupt.... just dont do themselves any favours

oh i would, changing rules to suit certain teams, draw behind closed doors etc

go on then.. I agree....... corrupt, ignorant,inconsistent,useless, amatuer,crap

yeh i'll go along with that

I would!
