Makes a change for us!



That as opposed to 2004 when we played Super League clubs in every round away. (I think it was all of the top five).

Almost the perfect draw, York away would have been awesome.

I know we never win there but i'd love saints to win and us to draw them away again in the next round! Call me optimistic but it's got to happen sometime!

You are insane..

Never


I just enjoy watching good games of RL and if we aren't good enough to win then so be it.

So do I (so long as it's a Wembley final with us in it and me watching from the stands)...

Word. Medieval architecture, Terry's chocolate oranges and posh North Yorkshire birds in the fine drinking dens they have up there.



I'm waiting for the day we go one better and draw Lokomotiv Moscow away. Reckon more than 52 would travel to that one?

dam right bloody stupid if you want that to happen

How about Catalans Dragons v Bradford Bulls as the Sunday televised game?

How is it?? I don't listen to radios, especially ones we are forced to pay for.

As opposed to the free radios that are given away with cartons of milk?

I mean BBC stations, being forced to pay for the likes of Woss and others

Heard that it is as well as the leeds v saints, with both games on the Sunday because the grand national is on saturday.

Our game is on the Saturday aparently

WHAT ? are you joking. i was gonna go but not if its at same time as the national are they insane?

When would you play it?

Hope it will be the sunday. As im out for my Birthday on the Saturday.

sunday obviously:S

The most obvious tie to televise for me is the Hull KR v Celtic one (plus the Leeds v Saints one, obviously). The BBC won't fork out for sending a film crew to the Catalans v Bradford one - unless I suppose French TV are filming it and willing to sell it to the Beeb for less than it would cost them to film another game - Hull v Salford isn't too attractive with the current form of each team, Quins v Hudds doesn't leap out and the crowd will be tiny.

So Hull KR v Celtic is obvious. Crowd will be OK and it gives the Beeb a look at the new club.

I wonder whether Warrington will consider switching the game to Friday night to get a bigger crowd and avoid clashing with the televised games on the Sunday and the amateur games on Saturday?

Didn't the BBC send a crew over for the Toulouse v Widnes game a few years back?

I can picture Ray FRench now "Parlez vous sintellins?"

"Un fish split please garcon"

Yeah, remember watching this game as Justin Morgan's Toulouse outfit upset Widnes.

Already considered, more to do with the Easter schedule the week after, but York are in to make money as it's their big payday.

How will the "payday" thing work - now that season ticket holders get free entrance to this round?

Does that mean considered and rejected, or considered and happening?
