for Monko

Thanks Standee

If I were a leeds fan I'd be rubbing my hands at the prospect of playing a team they have been so dominant over in recent years. Likewise, we could have had a better draw but it could have been a lot worse

They have quite a few OB set ups, not just one!!

One is based in Leeds and one in Manchester so it wont be a problem to cover the Hull game on the Sunday.

I remember not so long ago when we could be considered their "bogey" team, I see no reason why we can't beat L**ds on the day, but there are a lot of games (and potential injuries) to come between now and July 24th.

I didn't suggest they just had one, I know they have many more than one, but how do you know there's only the RL that they might need an OB for, and the biggest cost with an OB is crew anyway, I was simply suggesting how a decision migh be made.

In an ideal world they would show all of the Q/F games, two on Saturday and two on Sunday, but the German Grand Prix is that weekend, so you can count out a BBC1 game on either day I'd imagine.

As a Hull fan I wanted a home draw first and fourmost. The in terms of preference of who I would have preferred it would have been:-

Cas
Rovers
Hudds/Leeds
Saints
Wire
Wigan

So imo we have not done too bad from the draw, you do have a good record at the KC but neither side have been in top form all season so it's a winnable game for both teams. Leeds will start favourites despite Hull having home advantage but I think it will be tight.

Home tie, full house, not on telly, big atmos from the 18th man
best we could hope for......
lots will happen between now and then mate eh?? some will fall and some will grow

cany wait... will tell ogre to wear his lucky pants LOL

But they are committed to showing two games so either they move the same one from wigan/wire on the saturday to somewhere else on the Sunday or they take the one from Leeds for Sunday and move the one used for wigan/wire somewhere else on Sunday should they need it.

Either way they are going to need two crews and 2 OB's that weekend for Rugby League.

Plus with a stadium like Hull's it is not much to set up, all cable is in place for dressing room cams and the like.

I think it will be Hull V Leeds, especially as it was a final a few years back, the BBC love that sort of rubbish talk before a game.

60 days away
8 regular league rounds
the Exiles game
we play them the week before

how the hell do you work out that L**ds will go in favourites, anything could happen in the next 60 days.

Leeds go into most matches favourites ... and rightly so based on recent sucess etc, but you know thats the beut of the CC, it throws up some surprises year in year out..

and the winner knows that at least one of wigan and wire are gone at the semi point

How would you play the week before the cup game. Pretty boring 5 drives and a kick and focus on defence as to not give them any indication of how we will play. Or devise a game plan for both games and stick to them, bearing in mind if we win, Leeds will be prepared the week after, and if we lose, then we have a couple of days to formulate a new game plan??

always go into a game to win, L**ds ate Headingley is a tough enough call as it is without Fubar trying to get clever.

You're right anything could happen to either side and form and injuries could be vastly different between now and then. I work out Leeds are favourites (you seem to have a problem typing that?) as they have been for roughly the last 12 games or so we have played against them home and away.

and I was questioning your reasoning, just because something has been true in the past, it doesn't mean it's true for the future.

so how do we ploan for the future if the past has no bearing?

it's called having a strategy, learning from best practice and and taking into account previous occurences, not just saying "well, that's the way it's always been"

so pretty much the same as paul said then
"roughly the last 12 games or so we have played against them home and away"

cheers

Your right. Rich has got far less idea than a bloke in the street who pitches up to the odd game every blue moon.

indeed.
