Well no better opponent to see if the team has the bottle to go on a Cup run this year.

Hell fire.

Where's it being played? Catalans still UK based by then?

Does not matter were it's played we will be going out.Problem for me is do not no why but when we play them ,after the game we have a load of injurys

Well, I think we may get to see the game somehow. even if we have to pay for it.
See the last paragraph below.

The draw in full (ties to be played the weekend of April 10/11):

Catalans Dragons v Wakefield Trinity

Featherstone Rovers v Hull FC

Hull Kingston Rovers v Castleford Tigers

Leigh Centurions v Huddersfield Giants

St Helens v Leeds Rhinos

Salford Red Devils v Widnes Vikings

Swinton Lions v Warrington Wolves

York City Knights v Wigan Warriors


Two of the above ties will be shown live by the BBC, one by The Sportsman and the remainder on Our League (further details to be announced).

They are still flying in for each game but, not sure what happens with their home fixtures.
I assume that for now, all of their games are being played over here, which, you would think, should still be the case when
the cup games are played but, who knows ?

Could have been much worse. They needed golden point to beat Hull KR

Seems strange that all games will be covered even though bein sport have no challenge cup coverage which says to me Catalan must have to still play over here. For me could be a double header at one ground covered by one channel.

They did need golden point but, that score line flattered KR massively.
Catalan were winning comfortably, put the cue on the rack and then had a man put in the bin.
At 28 - 4 it was no contest and Catalan should have got over the line with plenty to spare.

It ended up as a decent watch for the neutral though



Catalan aren't world beaters and IF it ends up being played in England and we have something close to our first choice 13/17 available, I fancy us to beat them.

Only if our forwards don't get mullered like the Leeds game

Catalans fell apart, as they often do. A fantastic break by their young full back gave them the get out of jail card in added time.

Regarding Hull KR: Abdul must run Sneed close for having the best kicking game in Super League.

According to Catalans Webb it will be played on their own ground unless selected as one of the BBC televised games then it will be played on a neutral ground

Confirmed to be at Saints ground and live on TV. I just hope we put in a better performance than the last time we played Catalans there.

It's live on BBC 2 on Sunday.

We are on live T V so we can watch for free ,but think it's a great thing that ,fans of club's, can pay 5£ to watch there team .Could have a go my self

We play Saturday 5pm normally we would be on first be because of grand national clash they put Saints Leeds on first as will be seen as more viewers to aim. I did mention early in the thread a double header makes sense for us

I’m assuming the tickets sales shared are only for those clubs on ppv. I will probably choose one of those games myself, therefore trinity won’t benefit from that.
Do the clubs of bbc televised games receive a fee from the bbc, and if so, how much

The schedule for the Third Round of the Betfred Challenge Cup has been confirmed – with three of the eight ties available on free to air coverage, and the other five to be streamed on the RFL’s Our League web and app on a pay per view basis, with “ticket” sales shared between the clubs.

A great relief not to be going to France right now.
Our last trip saw the spike in Covid infections that ravaged the club and destroyed our season.

No, you are not realistic, you just don't have the bravery to back your team. It's easy to cry off every game.

Great news on multiple levels.
As things are, there is no advantage to Catalan, in fact, they have to travel significantly further than we do.
Also, less risk to the players with covid, especially to the Trinity lads and, most importantly, it's on TV.

Win, win, win. Hopefully Trinity can add another "win" to this

thats good i think we can win this one

Are you feeling OK?

On Tv played at St Helens

Its not about bravery i admit i can be a bit pessimistic but when i said we would lose i though the tie would be played in france which wouldnt of helped which as since changed and i also believed and felt good about playing these in cup last season and proved to be more than wrong..think catalan are a team we will strughle with has they a big and nasty while at times we can be a little soft
