Sounds pretty straightforward. Draw is key, would have been nice to see it shy of Leeds and Huddersfield as well as Saints but a half-decent chance of a decent draw.

What time is the draw?

3:30 tomorrow on R5Live (barring anymore Prime Ministers shuffling off)

York or Halifax away please!

Shame about the injuries to Foster and Langley. Hopefully not too serious.

Last 16 could throw up some interesting fixtures.

Catalan Dragons
Bradford Bulls
Huddersfield Giants
Hull FC
Halifax RLFC
Warrington Wolves
Salford City Reds
York City Knights
Workington Town
Wakefield Wildcats
Sheffield Eagles
London Broncos
Hull Kingston Rovers
Wigan Warriors
Widnes Vikings
Leeds Rhinos

Given there's only 4 teams remaining from outside SL, do we want a lower league side for the possibility of being able to rest some of our paper thin squad or do we want to start taking down SL opposition as we're going to need to do that at some stage to have any genuine chance of winning the competition.

If all the other SL clubs draw each other, that will do me fine. Little chance of having to face more of one of them at once.

Here's my preferred draw

Wigan Warriors v Leeds
Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Catalans
York v Bradford Bulls
Hull KR v Hull FC
Sheffield Eagles v Halifax
London Broncos v Widnes Vikings
Warrington Wolves v Huddersfield
Salford City Reds V Workington

Wigan v Warrington
Catalans v Hull KR
Sheffield v Bradford Bulls
London Broncos V Salford City Reds

Wigan v Catalans
Bradford v London

All clubs will be hoping for the perceived 'easy draw' against lower league opposition. I don't buy into the cliché rubbish about having to beat the best to get to the final, certainly not until the quarters/semi's anyway. I reckon we'll end up with Wakefield away!

Imagine if we got to Wembley by playing Rochdale, York, Sheffield and London

Let the other SL clubs take each other out. We'll take York or fax away please. Bet we get Wigan or wire away now

Could do with Leeds Wigan wire hull Hudds Catalans all been drawn against each other

Wigan Athletic only played one PL team on the way to Wembley. Millwall didn't play any a few years ago.

Said to my gf (wigan fan) "£20 says we get wigan at your place".

Just sods law, would love a leeds v bulls final would bring the hiding bulls fans back into the fold, would be hell of a match also.

I really don't care who we get. Preferably a lower team but honestly not fussed if we get Wigan or Warrington.

Lower Teams - another win, progress towards Wembley but opponents get harder.

Higher Teams - probably loss, Wembley route gone. More chance of resting players later in season while the big teams are playing each other in QF's, SF's and Final. Bigger push for playoffs.

Think we're due a bit o luck after the last few years. We invariably lose to the eventual winners. Avoid Wigan & Warrington. Take anyone else. I fancy York away, as York is a crackin night on the bee.

I meant Beer. No insect love connotations meant lol

Bradford's ball going in the microwave at 3.29pm.

So could the tournament as it would most likely not result in a series of embarrassing mis-matches like we got in round 4.

It makes the tournament look like a complete joke and once again, sadly, shows the lack of strength of the game of RL.

I would love it if RL was as competitive out there that our friends in Union are. Sadly though, it will never happen. No wonder so many people want to bugger off to the other code.

We're playing higher teams in the league every week-end, so who we might have to beat if we are to eventually win the cup is irrelevant. Let's have the easiest opponents possible please!!

How did Ben Evans go?

Check the Sam Wood thread

Yeah, cos that is where you would usually look if asking about a completely different person.

Thanks sarcy , just saying so we dont all type in saying he did well when the original asker could just check the sam wood thread for the information.

And he could also see how sam wood got on, will we expect to see naughton anytime soon?

Ah read that now, cheers. Good to see him back playing, real prospect for the future. Be interesting to see how much game time he gets with Bradford for remainder of the season. I presume Warrington will let him play next week if selected.

Seems both Ben and Matty Blythe are OK to play from the Wire pov, not sure that Matty will be quite fit though.

Hopefully Naughton will be selected at some point this year.
