I definitely dont think the draws for any of the rounds are fixed, but I think it certainly highlights how ridiculous it is when Wire fans try to put the SL title on a par with the CC. Fair enough the final is a massive occasion but at the end of the day its 5 games, 1 or 2 of which are effectively a bye due to being played against lower quality opposition.

I don't think it's fixed to favour anybody but it does appear that the big teams have ben deliberately kept apart in the early rounds. The line-up for for the quarter finals should be pretty tasty

Obviously the draw isn't fixed but some will always say that.

Its neither yours or Wires fault you get some decent draws and now and again you have had the odd tough game thrown in. Its all down to luck with the draw and over the past few years we've not had that much but then maybe you make your own and hopefully with us now being a better side we can do that.

Lol @ Fix allegations. You're not exactly playing Leeds are you? As shown today Bradford are playing hardly better than a lower league side. Only got yourselves to blame if Bradford beat you. And why would they fix it so Wire and Saints get through easy and not Wigan?

for god sake stop talking sense!

Spot on.

It's normally comes down to winning two/three big games for the cup.

When you look at the hub cap or GF you've just gotta do so much more.

You've got home and away games vs Leeds, Saints, Wire and Hudds which means you've more than doubled how many big games you play in the cup. Comming out on top after that plus all the other games means far more than an outdated cup ever will.

That's no matter how much people put down the hub cap.

I blame that Whinos supporting Neville Longbottom making the draw. He evidently put a spell on the balls

There is a fiarly high likelyhood that the 'big four' will evade each other at this round.

I think its quite ridiculous to say the draw is fixed. If it was really fixed the RFL would want to stick two big ties in for each round, in order to make it look good on tv, whilst always saving the best supported teams for the final, which rarely happens.

Bugger. Didn't want the Sunday as I can't make it due to work.

I'd like to see what the saints draws have been over the super league era. I seem to recall us beating all super league opposition at least two years.

Why anyone would think the RFL would fix the draw is just crazy.

Btw I actually include Wigan in the easy draw fix.

Simply the RFL want all the big sides in the QF's as it means all big games from there.

i wouldnt even try to reason with them , if wigan drew swinton or featherstone would it still be a fix, dont know what there moaning about anyway not as if bradford are a real threat these days is it

So your saying the ex players over the years have been in on the fix?

Don't forget the two actors involved in the draw today.

And don't forget the BBC must be in on it and everyone at the draw

As I say youve had some tough draws thrown in and I recall one year you had a run of fixtures against other top superleague sides and got through the lot.

The real downer I have with our draws is a lack of home games. Our percentage at home must be very low.

The RFL must be the richest sporting organisation in the world the amount of people who need hush money.

And isn't it strange how nobody as ever come out and said they was offered money for taking part in these so called fixing of the draw.

if all these cup draws are fixed how did we end up playing barrow today?

Are you asking me that as a serious question?

If so, check back at my posts. I'm saying the challenge cup is NOT a fix!

Oh give over

Yeah we've had all easy ties haven't we, grow up

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't they do the draw so called live a few years ago and it was actually recorded, with the draw being leaked before the "live" draw was played on Radio 5 live???? Didn't some one on the Saints board post the draw???

Or is this one of many drink induced dreams?

no it wasnt serious!

Just checking

Yep, the draw was widely posted on the net hours before it was allegedly live. However, even I can't find fault with today's draw done straight after all the games have just finished - unless of course the winners were all known and the actors play by other actors.
