We are playing Saints away in the 1/4 Final.

Sts v Wire
Cas v Wigan
Cats v Huddersfield
HKR v Leigh

Probably the 2nd hardest draw we could have got. Oh well we will get to measure our progress against a top side sooner than we thought.

I challenge you to make Welly & Wilky keep on crying.

We're going to Wembley! We'll run that fat turnstile ragged.

FIX !!

Bu99er. Oh well we have to play the top teams sometime.
See Wigan got an easy draw - as usual.

Seriously though, out of those 8 there's only 1 that sticks out as an 'easy' draw.

Want Wire to win obviously, but expect to see Saints, Wigan, Cats and possibly HullKR in the semis.
Hope they show Saints and HullKR matches on TV as they are the pick of the round for me.

Yep, we normally draw you lot



Be good to see just how much Wire have improved when you go up against Saints.

TV pick for sure as you say

Will be away with daughter and her partner who is a nice lad BUT is a Saints fan. Will probably both be watching on it on my ipad!

I think we've all been sensibly restrained this season due to the Powell hangover and playing a few of the lower half teams so far.....but sod it I'm going full Duckie.....we're going to win the lot!! We'll stuff Saints in the quarter and then go on to hammer Wigan in the final and the continue to sweep up the LLS and GF and Dufty MOS - then the Roosters are having it in Feb 25.

You need quarantining, getting that close to the duck will cause this effect.

It’s a definite case of duck-itis. I’d prescribe the viewing of last years cup game with Wigan and Powells last away game vs Wakey twice a day and he’ll be as right as rain in a week.

Hope he hasn`t got bird flu.

I'll get my rosary out tonight before bed and say 5 Pete Matautias followed by 3 Oliver Holmes' and a couple of blessed Minikins.

Saints Away in the Cup works for me TBH. I'm not saying that we are a shoe in for the Semis, it'll be a tough game and a good test BUT we've not got a bad record there recently. I think we had them on the ropes last year until the late penalty/yellow for Bullock? put paid to our chances.

I think we are a better balanced team this time out and they should be well backed up behind the sticks. We may lose but if we aren't up for this we may as well pack in

NTW

It'll be q good barometer, and we'll be under dogs, no expectation

Confidence ,effort & application on the day & we can win.

Sam & the team should all read the Saints training manual beforehand though..."How to play the ref & influence people ".

OMG, he's gone quackers!

I think that would send you too far the other way add in 2019 cup highlights to balance you out as and when required.

I think that would have the same effect as saying ‘Candyman’ three times in front of a mirror. Except saying ‘Mata’utia, Holmes, Minikin’ would result in a bloodier mess.

Is that the book written by Leeds ( Dale) Carnegie by any chance?
That could be a whoosh moment for some btw.

At the most only the 5th hardest.

1 Wigan away
2 Wigan home
3 Catalan away
4 Saints home

This. Walk forward and play the ball from 2 metres ahead of where you're tackled and throw your arms around, feign a head injury when under pressure near your own line and lie on in the tackle for ages.

You got that from the Alex Walsmley play book.

Saints away easier than at home? Ok
