Give over ! And I am well aware of the league tables and the massive odds that are stacked up against us because of it.

Head say's lets be sensible, Heart say's lets tear right in to them.

What you need to ask yourself is this, What's more important to the club. A top 2 finish or giving everything, every last drop of energy going all out away to Leeds on a one off match. Where does that figure in Young Rowley's list of targets? What if we pick up injuries to key players and we now have all important league fixtures needing re arranged.

As it happens the club will go out for it, I will be one of the teams biggest supporters.

Its a game of opinions pal.

As an aside you spout quite a bit of crap yourself.

Did he say how we get on?

That's what I was felling, but that might give more flexibility over when it's played. I could make an afternoon match but not an evening one, so, selfishly, it might be better for me.

Try telling brierley, ridy etc that we are "resting" them for this game, no chance! This is why they play

Doubt that

This is what I wanted if we had to go out can't wait. It will be a great day out for all our young fans who have never been to Leeds it will give our team a taste of what is needed to be in super league.

Too tight to deny them that chance is unfair , take the normal squad and see how far we've come

How about Tuesday afternoon ?

Kallum Watkins is going to do naughty things to your backline

He DID Alan but the result is being kept quiet

and will published in the home Programme of the Doncaster game

.

I think there is a clue here;"All four quarter-final ties will be played during the weekend of 7-8 June". I know Sky has extended the weekend to Thursday night, but I think Tuesday is still pushing it.

Leeds are saying all four on tv sky have 2nd and 4th chioce Bbc have 1st and third

Never thought of that

seriously though I think our game will be televised on a Friday evening , just a feeling I have in my nether regions .

Lynda I concur .

IF it is on telly it will probably be 4th choice match, therefore it'll be Thurs night. I suppose that gives us a bit longer to be fresh for a rearranged Halifax game on the following Wednesday.

I think it was the worst possible draw we could have. (But that's no reason to send over a reserve team)

Do you really think we are at the standard of Leeds we are far from it what's the point in risking key players .

Then why bother entering the competition at all?? We could have gone out against Pats and taken no risks at all!

What was the point in risking them yesterday then? That was the challenge cup!

You can get injures in any game,One extra game in the challenge cup will not define where we finish in the league.

Rest assured the club will send it's strongest team to Leeds with the intention of beating them. Upon reflection that is the right thing to do and I for one can not wait.

I was trying to offer an alternate view of thinking, to stir thoughts, opinions, and to place where Leeds away ranks within the set targets for the club to achieve this season.

I accept that was an unconventional way to post for the likes of reffy, who will not accept such crap honest intended debate on this board.



Onwards and upwards - Go Leythers !

Lets treat sport like sport - the board can worry about the business side of things, but lets keep to the spirit of the game.

Put a team of kids on ? you must be joking.

Its a cup gane FFS. what was the point of all the hype on Sunday if we do that ??

Give it a go and hold your heads high. We wont beat them but who cares ?

Cannot believe some of the stuff put on this thread !

Why disrespect the fans ? Lets take 3k to Leeds and give em a go !

Hope for a Friday night, Leeds main rugby night, best chance of a high attendance and generating some dosh.

If its on a Sunday put the Fax game back a few weeks - would be madness to play that during the following week

Will be a great day out and fantastic to see our top players take on some of the top players n the world.

They've said all 4 quarter finals will be shown but I wouldn't trust Sky with the Challenge Cup, they've shown they have no respect for the competition. BBC gets 1st and 3rd choice to be shown on Saturday or Sunday, Sky gets 2nd and 4th for Thursday or Friday. BBC will probably pick wG@n V Cas, Sky Bradford V Warrington then us 3rd choice so we'll probably be on BBC on Saturday or Sunday.

Lets be honest here, after the brilliant day that was Sunday this draw is a bit like a kick in the nuts. The league is what we want.

Not much luck of the draw this time.
Worst possible team away from home for us to get in my opinion (can't remember ever seeing us beat Leeds !).
Having said that I'm certain it will end up being the SKY Friday game so we will need to do as much as possible to get our fans to invade Headingley in numbers as Leeds to give the lads the much needed backing.
This is the cup and its about time the competition had a big surprise to give it a timely kick start.
