The Challenge Cup draw for the 5th round takes place tomorrow (Tuesday 24th March) at 6.30 pm. Salford, Hull FC, Hull KR and ourselves enter at this stage so the names in the hat are:

York City Knights
Leigh Centurions
Batley Bulldogs
Leigh Miners Rangers
Featherstone Rovers
North Wales Crusaders
Dewsbury Rams
Halifax
Bradford Bulls
Swinton Lions
Sheffield Eagles
Hunslet Hawks
Hull FC
Hull KR
Salford
Wakefield


Obviously we are going to either get Hull FC or Bradford as we always seem to, but if you could choose, who would it be??

Personally I'd quite like to see Dewsbury come to Belle Vue, hopefully giving us a bit of a chance to gain some confidence without it being the easiest game in the world. Plus they have a couple of our old boys and Morrison as coach.

Local team at their place.
Dewsbury or Halifax or Hunslet
Give them some money for the game.................or do these games get split evenly?

Shared gate for cup games.

We need to avoid Leigh, Bradford, Halifax and Fev as they would all beat us at the moment and the effect of that loss would not be good.

Agreed

Batley at their place would also be tough.
John Kear was almost dribbling into the radio yesterday at the thought of getting one of his old clubs at their place.

For me, we need a home draw and then we should hopefully make it into the next round.

Lower division clubs all the way to Wembley and then beat Leeds in the final

I know you aren't flying high but you could beat Leigh, probably beat Bradford and absolutely definitely beat anyone else in the championship.

Cheer up.

In that list the only teams I'm confident of beating are Leigh Miners, York, Hunslet and Swinton. The rest however,is another matter.

Leigh would probably wipe the floor with us and our form against Bradford is atrocious.

May as well get some practice in, Bradford away for me.

I'd pick Fev as a nice local derby, maybe at their place, fill their new stand. Or maybe Halifax at the Shay, walking distance for me, if you don't mind a pitch that more mud/sand than grass.

I'd take anyone. It's about time teams started worrying about drawing Wakefield Trinity. This team and the players in it are capable of far far better than what they are producing. It's not that long ago that we played Salford off the park at home, smashed Hull at home and away (granted one was a pre season friendly) and of course walloped Hull KR for 40 odd. The rest are from a league below or even further down so should be beaten comfortably. Apologies if I'm being too positive after yesterday but I'm looking at the team as a whole since Webster took over and I think we have improved. I can't see anything there in that list of teams to worry me at all.

I'd pick leigh miners Rangers, at Leigh,they could then give up home advantage and play it in Perpignan.

Doesn't matter who we get, If we want to get to Wembley we're going to have to beat whoever is put in front of us.

That's the spirit, some of you worrying you'd get knocked out by Feath, and the others preparing for a day out in London.

I think there are some in the Championship requiring an injection of humility so I'd really enjoy it if Wakey could give them it.

Leigh at Leigh

Put them in their place

The last team I would choose would be Leigh, esp at Leigh!

To be honest, we could benefit from a weak side so we can rest some busted players.
You couldn't rest anyone against Leigh or Bradford. Needs to be Leigh Miners (with the greatest respect)

I'd chose Hunslet away.
I think we will get Bradford away.

Is big Nige warming the balls again

I would have liked a cumbrian side away ! But sadly all knocked out,
So i think it will be north wales away.

Sheffield at home...

Are you afraid of playing Leigh?

It would be a bumper crowd of close to 10,000 and if we aren't confident of beating a Championship team, even Leigh, then what does that say about us and our Super League credibility?

I can't see our chairman giving 7000 free tickets out


Them days are long gone.

York away for mine, good day out, should win comfortably and put some much needed funds into the York club.
