Four all Superleague games, not convinced we'll be on the telly.

Vikings v. Saints
Rhinos v. Wildcats
FC v. Giants
KR v. Catalans

Think I'd be camped on the east coast if I was the telly, but suspect the only nailed on game is FC v. Giants.

Is it my imagination or do we always seem to have drawn SL teams in the 4th Round or whatever we are in now?

SL Era:
Swinton, Whitehaven, =#0000BFCastleford, =#0000BFWigan, Featherstone, Swinton, =#0000BFBradford, Whitehaven, Workington, =#0000BFWarrington, Leigh, Workington, Celtic, =#0000BFSt Helens, =#0000BFHull, =#0000BFCeltic, =#0000BFWakefield

That looks like eight from seventeen overall although four from four just recently.

one on the BBC, one on Sky - I hope Fev v Cas is one of the two
I'd expect to see the two Hull games picked though

Thanks for that TVOC.
I think I should have qualified that by saying recently i.e last 5 or 6 years. Sorry about that


So 5 from the last 5 years including this one.

Meh. Cant we go somewhere in the lower leagues, bored of SL opposition.

It's about time Leeds had some luck and were drawn at home in the CC against some whipping boy SL rabble side.

That one may come back to haunt you - I'll make sure of that in the event

thought the beeb were only showing one game now?

Nope still four from four. This is SL17 and those are the 17 round 4 opponents up to and including Wakefield in 2012.

(Just in case anyone has a query on The Celtic that preceded the run of SL opponents at this stage, that was in 2008, before their relatively brief elevation.)

Cheers for that.
At least someone knows what they are talking about.

Why can't everyone be like you. As Bruce Forsyth I mean Sam Tomkins might say - you're my favourite.

Nice to see that Wigan got their usual bye at the last 32 stage.

It would be interesting to see who Wigan's 4th round opponents have been during the SL era.

Leeds-Wakie, may not be the tie of the round but could make for an enteraining fixture. Plenty of points etc.

In the event of a miracle occurring where Leeds are beaten by rabble SL whipping boy opponents, then you'll have every right to remind me and rub my nose in it. I'd be more than delighted to be proven wrong just for once.

No matter what the result is im sure Vastman's dummy will be spat out for all to see

were this a semi final you'd have a point, I would argue that the chances of not drawing a SL whipping boy team (probably only StHelens, Wigan & Wire), are significantly higher than avoiding one. Wakefield IMO represents about a medium difficulty team, and doesn't really allow most of the boys a week off

You can't draw any team at HOME in the semi finals. I'm sick and tired of Leeds being drawn AWAY in the CC and it's about time they were afforded the luxury of a home game, whether that be against a SL whipping boy team or anyone else.

Mr Corn, have you aired your thoughts as to this mornings bombshell that was dropped in the BD6 postcode therefore leaving a rather large crater just adjacent to the northern termination of the M606 motorway?

Really???

You mean you wont go and hide for several months in fear of reprisals on comments you may have made about a teams ability to win a game?

I once cared but as time moves on I progressively care a lot less than I once did. I blame Super League for that. Bye Bye Bulls? So be it. Perhaps they'll re-emerge as Bradford Northern. That'd be cool.

6 SL teams - only 1 at home.

Do season ticket holders still get in for free for the 1st round of the challenge cup?

That's not the answer required. Many are uncomfortable with facts on this forum.
