Thought we'd lost coverage for a minute there.
It's back now.

Home to Catalan, average draw that could be better could be worse

Home to Catalan

Tough for our feeder club.

Leeds and Wigan get their easy draws, and an MPG repeat. Catalans could go either way depending which side turn up and whether we get drawn into their thug rugby.

As with last year, glad we play them at home, likely to be one of the televised games as it is an all super league clash.

Leeds Rhinos vs Barrow Raiders

Salford Red Devils vs Hull Kingston Rovers

Castleford vs St Helens

Featherstone vs Halifax

Dewsbury vs Wakefield

Hull FC vs Catalans

Swinton vs Wigan

Warrington vs Widnes

Byes for Leeds and Wigan..

Got to be happy with that, at home and we owe them one.

Hopefully not on TV, but think it will be.

I'll go for Swinton/Wigan and Cas/Saints as tv games.

Hope to God they don't show Swinton v Wigan. We are not talking Huddersfield here. This could finish 12-64

4 games are televised, 2 on the BBC and 2 on Sky

I believe Sky and BBC are both showing two games each

There are 3 all super league ties and Salford v HKR would be my guess for what will be shown on TV

Agreed but they like the fairytale bollox angle sometimes.

Hopefully Leeds v Wigan next round.

And us v the winners of Fev/Halifax in the quarters if we progress and just one game away from Wembley.
Easy innit.

Well ive been looking forward to that draw for weeks......feel totally underwhelmed.Catalan for the third time in three years ?

We'll be firm favourites at fortress KC.
Who did you want?

Played them in 2013 and last year and on both occasions we got to Wembley.
Having said that they beat us in 2007 and they ended up in the final.

Any mid table SL team or lower at home has to be considered a decent draw. No doubt it will be wigan or leeds away next round if we get through

I do quite like the idea of giving Swinton their day in the sun on national TV, they have earned it, but you worry about how one sided it might be if Wigan send a strong team. Salford v Rovers is probably the most interesting tie and after that the safe option is picking the three all SL ties.

I think they'll go Salford v Hull KR as it's a MPG repeat... lots of marketing around revenge etc.... also Cas and Saints I reckon, could be a free flowing entertaining game. Warrington and Widnes a good shout as well for TV. Might be us, but I think they'll think it will lack atmosphere of two opposing sets of fans...

Fev v Fax would be a good TV game and promote the championship well. Would be a well-matched contest for me.

Can't have an easy ride every year I guess? Think we got lucky last year with Saints, Catalans, Wigan and Warrington



Rest assured, we will be the one team all others want to avoid!

Will they want to broadcast Rovers fans fighting on the pitch again?
