Before the draw I wanted either Widnes, Shudds or Cas. Any of the other 4 sides would've been a tougher ask. Catalan away would've been the best money spinner I think.
The thing with Shudds is the lack of income due to a probable poor crowd.

This game is still 6 weeks away and there is plenty of rugby to happen before then.
If we maintain our good form and Huddersfield continue to stutter then, this game is definitely winnable.
All of the comments about them being our bogey team are of course correct but, we are not playing the history books, we are playing Huddersfield.
Not wishing any harm on Brough, who is a fantastic player but, we could do with him missing the game (a 2 or 3 match ban before we play them will do nicely)
It depends on our form/momentum as we get closer to the game.

A home draw would have given us more reason to be confident but, I'm looking forward to this one and they (Huddersfield) are certainly not unbeatable.
We've beaten them already this season and let's just hope we can do it again.

The next round will be a whole lot more difficult so, let's just enjoy the ride.

Come on Trin !

As I’ve said it’s a strange one with Hudds and hard to explain. It’s not that they beat us more than we beat them, they are a better funded club and certainly in recent times have been the better club with the stronger team.

It’s the manner in which they beat us and the manner in which we play them. We never seem to be up for them This especially seems the case when we are generally going well. It’s as if we have no respect for them and have no idea of their capabilities. The lack of urgency and desire against this club has always been sadly and strangely lacking in the past - with the very odd exception and usually when we are in poor form.

I can’t think of a club other than perhaps Leeds (for a spell) who had usually beaten us after 15 minutes in nearly every game.

I just can’t see it - but luckily what I think won’t matter and at last our boys will give this game all they have in which case Ill accept a win or a loss.

One bright spot is that Hudds have less of an ex Trinity presence these days which may help and if someones very smart they will realise how easily Broughy can be put off his games against his old club - though that’s a long shot.

As I say if we win it we have our name on the Trophy

sort of because we will have to beat SL teams to win it and this is the SL team we've struggled with more than any other.

There were 2,500 Hudds fans against Leeds maybe a smidgen more there would have been 3,000 maybe 3,250 had it been a Sunday. Bearing in mind last year when Hudds and Leeds were in the top four the game only drew 7,700 at Headingley and we had a good turnout in that.

So depending on which day it is you have to bring around 1,800 to 2,500 to get a 5,000 gate.

If you bring. 998, that's less the two who have already said they don't come to Huddersfield there would be 3,500 or 4,000 which is more than Cas got on Saturday wth a reasonable turn up from Salford.

As its a quarter final with both clubs fancying their chances I think 5,000 would be a decent turnout, the only way to make big money in the cup is get to the final.

I would do what they did against Leeds about three years ago £10 a ticket and let's get a decent gate.

We have never beaten a super league team in the cup ,this would be a good time to do it

If they sent a limo to take me to the ground I would not go.
As for the damage to the car I could have got that done anywhere, I just chose to remind the holier than thou giant fans at every opportunity.
The walking to Huddersfield there and back was in aid of the fund raising for Adam Watene.
As a Wakey fan I still go to away matches, I'm even going to Perp's again this time having gone there for the first 6 years, my away support this season will compare with quite a lot on here, but Huddersfield nah not for me, I'd sooner suck sh!!te if you'll pardon the expression.

We have but it was a while back. Our record in the CCup in the last 30 years has been utterly diabolical that's for sure.

I think alegend is correct. We have not beaten a super league club in CC.

You have been sucking it for some time by the sound of it.

Sounds like its on its way back out too!!! May the best team win and to all who are going enjoy the game

We've beaten Widnes, Cas & London in the cup whilst in superleague. But that's your lot.

Lets hope we can add Hudds to that rather puny list. Plenty of rugby to play before then, so it's hard to give judgement one way or the other about how well we'll do but it's obviously defo winnable.

Widnes London and cas were not in super league at time

Widnes London and cas were not in super league at time

I've had this discussion before and I thought what you thought. However I was proved wrong, without checking I think it was Widnes but not sure.

Cas and London were definitely in Super League at the time. For Widnes I think it was their first season in SL but hadn't played a league game yet.
It is still too long ago though.

Widnes had just got promoted, Cas were in Super League at the time and although I can't recall the London game it's only since 2014 London havent been in SL. Have we played them in the cup since then?

Incorrect on all three i'm afraid. We beat Widnes in 2002, Cas in 2003 and London in 2004, all were superleague teams at the time. Not too much to write home about since though, even the run to the semi's in '08 was on the back of playing all lower league opposition.

Correct.
