Cracking!

Presume Leeds/Cas and HKR/Sts will be the telly games

London vs Featherstone could be a good one.

Latics away that weekend too, so no faffing about clashing with a game, just a wedding...

As a game it would, though showing the crowd would be embarrassing!

upsets poss with widnes & salford ?

Workington v Whitehaven would be better !!!

ooh missed that one - might be worth a trip to the lakes for that

Following some of the comments from Leigh fans gloating after beating a very weak Wigan side in pre season I'd want to put 60 on them with a full strength side.

Not played them in a competitive game for a while so I'm hoping for an above average attendance for this round and a club of their stature.

I'd LOVE to see a Friday night KO with a good crowd.

Good draw for us. Competitive derby with the Leythers.

I expect the BBC will go for Hull KR v Saints given yesterday's result, if not then Leeds v Cas as the BBC will only go for all SL ties. Sky tend to take a punt on the potential shock going off the games they chose last year so I think they will pick London v Fev.

Nice draw which should provide a decent crowd and atmosphere for a match at this stage of the competition.

Can't see anything other than wins for Widnes and Salford in those two. Fev could well beat the Broncos though.

Can someone post the full draw pretty please?

Leigh fans will be able to get to Wigan on the train too....

Why does no one think we'll be televised its a local derby with a decent ish crowd Saturday afternoon on BBC 2 why not its a win win with at least a chance of an upset.

Because HKR V Saints is the game that the BBC will chose. I think SKY will go for Leeds v Cas.

Nah, we don't have a train station. I'm going to take my alternative trackless engined vehicle instead.

I do hear that up in the sooooper posh land of Wiggin that your lot won't go anywhere unless it's by train. Train to the seaside. Train to the pie shop. Train to the toilet. Must be wonderous!

Gotta dash, I'm going to look at some pictures of choo choos in a book.

P.S. Looking forward to the game, expect Leigh to get tatered. However we're going to sing our hearts out and hope for a credible performance.

Speaking for me personally the following reasons suggest that our game will not be considered.

1)Because last season SKY turned down the chance of showing the Leigh v Leeds QF after it was 4th pick out of 4. They had the rights to two QFs but declined to cover that one. Why would either broadcaster now choose to show Leigh against a top SL side away from home when they wouldn't show them at home with a last four spot up for grabs.

2) HKR beat Saints in a close game yesterday and Saints are missing the spine of their team so the same could happen again.

3) Cas have already beaten Leeds in a tight game this year and that too is a local grudge match.

4) The BBC have only previously shown interest in SL v SL ties and turned down the option of Fev v Cas last year, also a local derby but with a more realistic chance of a shock result (as was proven).

5) SKY will take a risk on potential shocks but London v Fev is much more likely to see the SL side lose than our game.
