For once in a while the draw has been kind to us. The ideal draw for me would be -

Wigan v Leeds
Widnes v Warrington
Leigh v Bradford
Cas v Keighley

That really though is wishful thinking, but you never know. We can't really complain up to now. Not saying it because we are still there, but from the games point of view itself, it really would be nice to see someone else get to Wembley, apart from the usual suspects of Wigan, Warrington and Leeds. Have to say though that the Rhinos are brewing exceptionally well, and are going to take a lot of beating. Still you never know in a one off.

Hats off to both Widnes and Bradford. Two great wins against the odds. If we don't get there, I would like one of those two do so, particularly Bradford as they could really do with the money.

It will be interesting if all the local derbies get drawn out...

Keighley v Bradford
Cas v Leeds
Warrington v Widnes
Leigh v Wigan

I like your draw zimmerman bt find it hard to agree with the statement about Bradford when only 2300 turned up today for a game against two Superleague clubs, obviously the fans dont want to pay on the gate and genarate income for the club.
I dont want to see the Bulls suffer but they arent helping themselves imho

I will take anyone. Leeds or Wigan away, let's win the cup in style.

Nar that's crazy.
Cas Vs Bradford
Keighley Vs Leigh

Then winners play each other in semis. Let's have it as easy as possible!! Let other 4 scrap it out.

I'd like to go back to Keighley.

all 4 ties are going to be televised - two by BBC two by Sky.

I am going for a tricky tie for the Tigers in Leigh away.

Don't let us stop you

Wigan away. of course

2 weeks in a row we've got you then. Wouldn't be surprised to see the games split 1 each.

Really tough draw. At home I would have fancied us to win but away, it might be a step too far.

As long as Cas fans get there in numbers and outsing Wigan with the team giving everything I will be happy.

Hopefully McThug anf O'Verated have shocking games. Can't stand it when they score.

We've beaten them the last two times - once away and once at home. It's not exactly out of our reach.

1986 Challenge Cup Quarter Final was Wigan V Cas.

Wigan were the holders then and we were given no chance...but we won!

Lets hope history repeats itself.

There's more chance of the pope fathering twins, but then again........even that could happen this day and age! Tie of the round, wish it was at cas as it's my favourite away ground

I really can't call this one, shame it's 5 weeks away, there's a lot of rugby to be played between now and then, but it has the potential to be another classic.
Wigan will know they are in for one hell of a game, I think its also safe to say there'll be more than yesterday's poor turn out of 4390

True it will be a tough game. I just hope it's not like the last five minutes of the league game, I couldn't cope with that again, I went through every emotion in that five minute spell lol

Was also the last time Wigan lost a home cup game!

Over-rated?

Methinks he'd be first name on the team sheet if you were lucky enough for him to sign for Cas.

Nah.

I'd put Justin Carney and Daryl Clark before him

Clarke is 4 times better player faster scores more trys and does more tackles the Wigan hooker was turned away from both Cas and Leeds as a kid because of is attitude do you honestly think he would sign for you over leeds from a lad from Stannigley Leeds they just did not rate him and I don't either.

Seriously when was the last time Clarke stepped up in the play offs or challenge cup? always hear how poor McIlorum is until Wigan win a trophy and usually McIlorum is in top 3 players.

Mcllorum isn't poor, it's just DC is better.

Very childish point about trophy wins, if Jordan James wins a medal this year would that mean he was a better forward than say Danny Nutley ever was who didn't win a medal over here ??? Ridiculous.

I said on page 1 bring on Wigan again prior to the draw. I stick by that. They are the cup holders and will naturally be favourites for the game. We will go about our business in the league before that from game to game. Slowly slowly catchy monkey, but I expect us to be a confident force for the cup game & as quoted elsewhere, to be the best you have to beat the best. (Granted, I would like to avoid Leeds in the semi, so we can beat them in the final)

that would be fine if i mentioned just him winning trophies, what i said is that he always out performs all these so called better hookers in the play offs and finals and then everybody shuts up until the season starts again. Daryl Clark has a long way to go before he can be counted as better.

Playing in the play-offs or a final doesn't make you better. It could be luck that some players are missing out through injury or suspension. Look at people like Ian Kirke at Leeds. No disrespect, but he's hardly world-class at Leeds yet has GF winners' rings. But you wouldn't pick him ahead of say, Ben Flower, would you?

Daryl Clark is a fantastic talent with a huge pedigree and already fulfilling his undoubted potential. He's not had the opportunity to showcase his talents on a higher level due to the fact that he's not had the team around him, or coaching, to catapult us into those top eight.

It's unfair to penalise him on that premise; if you want to compare stats and impact on a game then Daz Clark wins hands down over McIlorum and rightly should be England's second hooker. It seems to that Wigan fans have a tendency to see everything with their own side as perfect and wonderful; perhaps it's the 'little Cas' syndrome again? Sitting up there on your pedestal with an elitist attitude.

Hope the club is pinning all these to the walls as motivation.
