I've got to ask the question, if the draw only took 2 minutes why didn't they do it live in the broadcast studio following the Cas v Wakey game on Sunday?

Blatant fix...!

That would have been to easy.

It's a fix because

The two teams everyone wanted in the final are playing each other in the quarter finals, thus enabling Saints and Leeds who the RFL love into the semis unopposed.

(Or it might not actually be fixed, who knows).

I think this draw is as unsuspicious as it could ever be. If Wire, Wigan, Saints and Leeds had been at home and kept apart it would have been dodgy.

Great draw, and as the sad one alludes to, clearly no fix

When is this round to be played?

or i could just look at page one

Because they played on Saturday??

Nah, we don't think it's a fix, but we're slightly pi55ed off that you've effectively got another bye into the next round

I of course meant the televised Sunday game between Wigan and Bradford.

would have prefered saints at home, but you have to beat them all somewhere along the way to win the cup. Maybe the final will be a repeat of the GF last year? cant wait.

Couldn't do the draw after the Sunday match cos they had to go straight to the footy final score to see who was relegated

That's not showing much respect for hull KR calling the game a bye.

I can't wait for the next round of the cup. Warrington v Wigan is the biggest game in decades IMO.

Two teams playing well, healthy and at the top of the table. Both think they are unbeatable and both sets of fans are ultra convinced they will smash the other team. Only one of them can win.

Still think we're massive outsiders as I don't think we'd beat Huddersfield, Warrington, Wigan or Leeds in a final with the squad we've got at the moment.

The final is about 3 month away. If we do get there against Wigan, wolves or Leeds our squad might be fit and very fresh as half the team not played much rugby this year.

All teams go thru injury spells and with a little luck Wigan and warrington will have it at the business end of the year.

I wouldn't say Wigan are playing well by their own standards. Plus who knows if either team will be healthy and in form by the time the tie comes round? Lots of rugby to be played before then.



I don't see why we're massive outsiders. We beat both Warrington and Huddersfield in the play-offs last season with no halves and I don't see any reason why we couldn't beat anybody in the cup with some bodies back.

Wins against Leeds, Warrington, Wigan and Huddersfield this year = 0

you didnt see the leeds game then?

Oh the one with the wild forward pass. That was a silly game and they are a world away from that now.

as will all of the 4 teams and our team be you mention when/if we meet them in the cup.

Fail.

Epic



I meant Hull, clearly.

wigan and warrington on bbc2 on the saturday and leeds and hull on the sunday these are the game the bbc have chance no suprise think everyone would of pick these gmes

I'd have gone for Cas v Hudds instead of the Leeds v Hull game which we all know will turn out to be another walk in the park for Leeds.

Me too
