As soon as Loiner81 joked about people knee jerking when we inevitably lose the week before the next round I looked at the fixtures and saw we had Hull the week before and was going to say on here "I bet we get Hull" because it often happens that you play the team you've just met in the league.

Home draws are always better but no worries about going there.

Other matches

Warrington vs Leigh
Saints vs Widnes/Batley
HKR vs Catalans/Fev

Expect Widnes and Catalans to get through those games and a semi final lineup of Leeds, Saints and Wire. The last quarter between HKR vs Catalans looks close but would tip the host due to Catalans poor away form.

If I were Lee Radford, I'd have that post printed out in foot-high letters and pinned up on the dressing room wall on game day



I can think of better draws we could have got, but we're at home. If the team that beat Cas turn up, could be a good game. If the team that's been playing for most of the season arrive, we'll get tonked.

We'll see!

Glad to know that proving me wrong is more important to Hull players than actually winning because they want to win a medal.

Rumour has it that the KFC is having new lights fitted and won't be available for the QF.

[uGlad Leeds didn't get KR. It's only FC.[/u

There, Radford can have that one, it's snappier.

tough game ahead against hull fc,but it could have been much worse with away ties at saints,wolves or catalans

imo hull fc should forfeit the tie because they'll never win at wembley

Get in touch with him. Radford seems so clueless your help would probably be appreciated.

20 out of Leeds last 22 Challenge Cup ties have been against SL opposition.

The other two were against Leigh.

I reckon at some point we must be due an "easy" Cup draw.

Smug Leeds.

And there you have it

Apart from the away ties every single one of those ties has been at home. RFL's pets.

Nah, just got some confidence in the depth of talent and ability of our squad. I reckon most of us know that anything can happen in a CC game and will be nervous come match day. I'm sure your lot will feel they have a great chance on the day, especially with home advantage. Should be a cracking game.

Don't forget they beat us in 2005 blah blah blah! Can Hull win? Of course it's the cup. For that to happen FC need to be at their best and Leeds need to be poor. If Leeds play well we win.

Leeds V Hull in the Challenge Cup during the SL Era hasn't held many fears - the one rather obvious Welsh blot aside.

I know, shocking favouritism. It's no wonder we've made all those finals with draws like that.

Not a bad draw,could have been far worse i was expecting us to follow Warrington,that would have been a nightmare going off our previous two showings against them this year.

Certainly wouldn't disrespect Hull, they have the capabilities of beating us on home turf.

A Leeds win by farv to narn points.

Apart from the away ties, they've been at home??? Where else would they be if they weren't away?

nice to see a roversmad fan without a sense of humour

I will b sat or sun as the new lights will not b ready that why we r play wakey n cas on sundays

Maybe it's just that West Yorkshire jokes are $hite

Fair point. You've got me there.

Some were played at neutral venues, eg the Leeds v Cas match last year was played at Wembley. HTH
