There ends our run......

Balls! Bloody pies.

Might as well get them out of the way early!

Sounds like it will be one of the TV matches, Wakefield vs Cas the other

how many ppl predicted warrington getting an easy draw? i certainly did

Would have thought Hudds Cats might be on TV. That game will be competitive, cant see BBC wanting us on again, especially against Wigan!

An all SL tie involving the current champions? I'd not put money on us not being on TV

Claire balding said the tv games will be most likely Bradford Wigan and Cas wakey, sounding as if to say bulls pies was a certain.

Didnt listen to Clare at the end. I was just thinking Cas Wakey & Hudds Cats sound 2 competitive games, Bulls Wigan doesnt

Will Jeffries be availabe for the Wigan game?

Well thats a toughie! Should make for a good game who knows we may actually win, stranger thing have happened.

Bradford v Wigan is the BBC Sunday game kick off at 3:30.

Cas v Wakey is the Saturday game.

It used to be you had to register them before a certain date for the 4th round, and then before a certain date for the Quarter Finals onwards, but they changed the rules not long ago after the whole debacle of someone playing an unregistered player (was it Hull with Thackray? Can't remember now).

Not sure what the current rules are about when you can register players for the cup.

He must be eligible. He's not cup-tied, and we signed him before we started this year's cup run.
=#FFFFFFYes yes I know I used the word "run", no need to witter on

Flippin eck. On TV as well? National humiliation awaits.

Hopefully we can get some bodies back and build some momentum after the win yesterday

You are funny.

He wasn't eligible for yesterday's game. Was mentioned in the T&A article ([url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportbulls/9013661.Jeffries_in_shock_Bradford_Bulls_comeback/this one[/url) that he was signed too late to play in it. And if it's still the same where if you're not registered in time for the 4th round, you don't play future rounds, then he wouldn't be.

As I say, it used to be before the deadline for the 4th round, or you had to wait until the Quarter Finals. If you missed that deadline, you weren't eligible at all. If it's still that, he'd have to miss the 5th round too. But I'm not sure what the rules are since they last changed them.

Anything can happen in a cup game.

Aye. And I could spontaneously combust while in the middle of a threesome with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. But it's still not very likely.

Yeah, obviously he'd have played if signed on time, but he's fine for Wigan:
Operational rules:
84.8 ... up to and including Round 5, only players who are correctly registered... are eligible
84.9 only players registered at the club prior to the close of RFL business on the Monday prior to the Quarter Finals shall be eligible to play in any QF, SF or Final tie.

Nice one. From that, yeah he's eligible for 5th round. I knew there was something still about a cut off from the Quarter Finals but wasn't sure. Looks like it was the one about registering before the 4th round for up to the QFs that they changed.

Mind you that's the operational rules on the RFL official site, so it may well be out-of-date bollox

wasn't there a rumour about les playing in the cup final for the bulls if we got there one year? he wouldn't have been allowed judging by those rules.

think les was ok because he was signed for us at the deadline. he switched codes after the deadline had passed.
