need to play game Friday night.we play saints Friday after,they will rest a few against York.

Probably pushes our rearranged game against Wakefield even further back.

we play warrington sunday before, cas play wigan on the friday then hudds on the thursday after the cup game, we play the friday v saints


does the home team decide which day (if not on tv) the game shall be played as they were drawn out the hat first or is it a mutual agreement! if we choose, i hope radford goes for a sat or sunday game!


i do think sky will pick wakefield v leigh and the beeb will pick leeds v hudds and wigan v dobbins

I think both teams will be fairly pleased with the draw .

I'd be happy if it got pushed all the way back to the last week. Either we'd be really motivated to take the 2 points and make the 8, or we'd already be consigned to the League of Doom and we could put a skeleton team out.

Obviously I'd be even happier if we made the semis, rearranged the game in hand for the 8th of July and beat Wakie twice in one week but I'm trying to be realistic in my optimism.

Hmm. If we got them in the quarters we could play them 3 times in 8 days.

Happy with the draw.

We've had some great victories over Cas in the Cup over years, especially in the Semi Finals.

Good chance to progress, can't complain about a home draw.

I think its as good as we could have hoped for and could have been a lot worse.

Cas are pretty inconsistent this season and it gives us a real chance of progressing.

The rest of the draw means that if we do go through at least 3 SL sides will have gone out.

If we go through we'll be in the last eight so at least four will have gone out.

Happy with that. Always great rivalry and banter with the Cas lads. Both our teams are underperforming for one reason or another.

Widnes took them apart this week and we owe them for the loss.

Its a good draw for me, i fancy us at home, and could have been alit worse

why would you think that will happen then??

In the last couple of weeks he's stirred it up with pretty much all sporting stakeholders in the city, one way or another. An unreasonable pricing structure for an unscheduled game would hardly be against the grain.

Are you saying Allam sets the price of our tickets and not the club itself?

No. Remind me why Richard Whiting's testimonial was at Featherstone.

In the scenario we progress, presumably we could play a home tie in June?

The fee for hiring the stadium for an event is £50k

Assume a testimonial wouldnt make it work

A cup game could see 12k at £10 tickets

Cant see the tickets been £10 I think £15-16 is more likely.

12k? Got less than half that against Salford at the KC last year.

We havent had a 5 figure gate for a cup match since 2010

And we won't get one against Cas.

Good drew that. 2 evenly matched teams - should be a cracker.

Definitely. What's your medium term injury list - just Carney?

we should have everybody fit by then apart from Justin we should pretty tough to beat.

Indeed, 2 day turnaround advantage too.

Nearly right.

Leeds and Wakefield on BBC. Wigan on Sky.
