Fev v Cas



Widnes v Saints

what a joke you have some great games and they choose fev v castleford and widnes v saints what a Joke

fev v cas could be good
other game should have been us

fev v cas i can see as a potential upset, but as for widnes v saints! poor choice

I'm OK with the Fev v Cas one. With all of the great work going on at Featherstone it's good that they get some exposure. Widnes - Saints is a bit of a headscratcher though. All the scousers will be at Wembley or Aintree.

I see Sky are showing a game too......we may be on there?

Fev vs Cas will be a great game. It's what the Cup is all about... giant killings.

Widnes vs Saints is a local derby. I can see why they've gone for it.

There are only two TV games. One on the Beeb and one on Sky.

Not bothered about being on TV...hopefully we will get a big gate

Ah right, I thought I'd read sky were getting on on top of the bbc games

What a joke I would of thought we would of been on. I'm fine with fev vs cas been on but Widnes vs St Helens that should of been us on tv.

That's the way I see it.

I can understand the beeb selecting Widnes v Saints, especially given the numpties that'll be presenting it.

JD (in his best Siadwell voice) : "Look Ray, I'm telling you, Widnes are a better team than Saints ever could dream of being, what about big Jim Mills?"

RF (doing his Frank Barlow impersonation) : "Sorry Jonathon but whatever they taught you and Jim Mills down in those Welsh valleys, you never had the likes of Alex Murphy did you?"

Please don't look any deeper than some frigging idiot, chinless, public school-educated producer thinking it would be a spiffing idea to get the previous clubs of "those two northern blokes" on the TV together.

A bit shocked seems a very strange decision but not the end of the world!!!

Not a surprise to me.

Fev v Cas is a potential Giant Killer, which you don't get much these days. However, I expect Cas will run out winners in the end

Widnes V Sts - well its an all Super League tie, Local Derby and a repeat of the 1976 Challenge Cup Final (so they can run VT). Also it gives them the perfect opportunity to talk about the pitch, 'Changed a bit since you played here, Jonathan!'

I,m taking bets on the minute R/F first says " N loook at them boots jonathan the carpet slippers nowadays" 0 to 20 mins 6/4

That on the beeb?
Claire Balding will be practicing her 'Eh Ups' and getting her flat cap and whippet out!

No bets on when he mentions the combined weight of the forward pack? Or mentions the amateur club one of the players played at?

How about the number of times he says "uuuurm..."? Must be in the thousands!

Doubt it will be a big gate. No freebies for passholders and with the Easter period just before it, think we will be lucky to make 8000.
