Roll on Round 5.

It's the challenge cup, neither side are likely to progress much further after this round anyway. I hope we win but it wont be the end of the world if we lose.

Pretty much agree with that.

I think Widnes will come at us, wanting to prove something after the league fixture, However I still think we are equal to them and will be able to withstand it.

I think neither team would cry if they went out. We'd have to re-arrange leigh away if we went through.

Hopefully it'll be a good game and the best team wins.

It'll be a close one though.

Should be a cracker. I honestly don't mind if we lose as long as it is entertaining - watching Fax is good these days. Not likely to get much further than this round anyway - though a crack at a SL club at home would be nice. Hope the fans turn out for both clubs.

Are we opening the away stand for this one?

YES

I predict a close game and unless we get some fit bodies back, I suspect a Widnes victory.

Be that as it may, a scrappy 22 18 victory fax with Boberto sealing the win with a 72nd minute unconverted try from 4 yards in front of the south stand.

A crowd of 2189 will see this error-strewn affair.

It costs more money the further you get into the CC, so I expect a Widnes win by 2.

I'll be trying to get to the game regardless, but what's the point in putting bodies on the line for a game that means nothing? We aren't going to win the CC....................... Or ARE we

if we get some bodies back it will closer than last time. i don't want to jinx it but what happens if were drawing after 80 mins.

A good cup run gives all clubs a "feelgood" factor. The lads will be playing for winning money, the board will be hoping for a next round money-spinner and we the speccies don't want to see our team lose. We need to go as far as we can in all comps and get as many speccies into the ground as possible. A good cup run might just finance another player into the squad.

Just for the record, if we're anywhere near full strength I expect us to just win this tie.

I cant believe all this apathy amongst Fax fans, not caring if we win or lose. If this is the attitude the players take on Friday we'll get stuffed.

Of course it's important we get through, not only for financial reasons, but also to give us a psycological edge the next time we play Widnes.

So get down to the Shay on Friday in big numbers and cheer the lads to victory.

I agree, I want Fax to win all the games the play in, League, Cup or even friendlies.

Come on Fax, lets keep this run going!!

Only if you have a crystal ball. Apart from the upping of the prize money we could get a money-spinning tie in the next round (Wigan/Hull). I admit, a tie against Harlequins wouldn't be worth it. You also have to consider the sponsors - i'm sure they'd like us to go as far as we can. Hull KR's win against Warrington three years ago was a right boon to them.

Yeah there's the prob for us, your getting players back and we are losing them!!!

If we turn the amount of dominance we had last time in to points in the second half we should win. Fletcher is also back for this game and he has been awesome thus far this year.

Weirdly I think that a cup run would be good but I feel we should concentrate on the league and NRC as they have a bigger bearing on our future as a club.
