The draw for round five which features Hull, Rovers, Wakefield and Salford plus the twelve winners of theis weekend's fourth round ties takes place next Tuesday at 6.30.

It's taking place in Hull and the balls are being drawn by Johnny Whiteley and Phil Lowe.

The draw is live on the the Challenge Cup website and selected radio stations.

Maybe our year..?

With Phil and Johnny doing the draw whats the odds on us drawing each other.... we're due one.

It's our only realistic chance of any success this year so I hope we get the lowest ranked team and at home too.

I think your use of the word "realistic" is unrealistic. However, we can but hope.

Farcical that us kr wakey and Salford come in at this stage


All romance has now gone completely and whoever decided this needs sacking off. Won't make any difference to gates imo

The farce isn't those 4 coming in at this round, its the bye given to the other 8 that's completely wrong. They will be seeding it next to remove even the smallest chance of lower league teams progressing.

.... the rearrangement of the games involving the 4. A good cup run will be a big disadvantage in the league.

Every minute counts, system is fair.....unless your one of the four who have to play 3 games in 8 days


Incompetence of the upmost from the rfl. Didny peacock want something like this happening in the challenge cup?

And it's not just how well we or rovers do in the cup, if Wakefield or Salford have a good run we'll still be affected.

Hmm will the rfl see we all get that far?

Surely we knew the rules last season, So its our respective clubs fault for finishing in the bottom four and a little bonus for the clubs finishing in the eight. Also this is the 4th rd, Didnt SL clubs always enter in the 4th round so we aren't massively disadvantaged then in previous seasons.

New rules? Didn't read or hear anything until close season

Not any of the 4 clubs fault for finishing in the bottom 4

I tweeted the rfl before the start of this season and they just replied the other 8 SL clubs will come in a round later, no comment about this being drawn up and announced last season

The new format was announced on July 24th last year.

When are you playing your home game against Salford?

If you wait for a free cup weekend, which makes sense, you may end up playing at the end of June, with just 4 games remaining,
and as many as 6 other clubs will be having that weekend off.

So when you posted on 25th July, the day after the new format was announced, and said " Warming to the new structure but definitely not the Challenge Cup format, it should be an open draw with all the top teams coming in together in the same round.....................etc.
you really didn't know until the close season ?

Does your account often get hacked ?

no, accept my memory isnt great though lol

Ouch

yes, quite a fool for not remembering what i posted last july!!

guess we cant all be trolls, stalkers and posters who come on here when there team wins,(never seen when losing) , who only visit sites for that sole purpose!

Thats the price you pay for a bad season the year before though isn't it? Either way I'm Hoping Rovers are well into the eight for it not to be an issue if it had to be played in June.

What contribution to this thread or this site for that matter can be classed as trolling or stalking in recent times? Granted I've been a c0c k in the distant past but don't we all deserve to grow up, realise and admit when we've been the aformentioned? As for losing what has that got to do with anything. win or lose I visit the internet, and win or lose I comment when I feel I need/want to. I've commented about the CC Draw and made no mention of anything else.

Knowing our luck we'll get one of the other three SL teams away.

Wouldn't you like a 4th derby

I'd rather eat a dog sandwich.

Leigh away is your draw , how many are you bringing

Confirmed teams for the 5th round draw:

1. Batley.
2. Bradford.
3. Dewsbury.
4. Featherstone.
