.....away

If we could play them at the weekend with their current injury situation I'd be confident; but they'll be upto full strength by the time this is played.

Revenge for 12-10 defeat in the Quarters many moons ago!

Could have been worse, too far away to call really. We'll be rightly under dogs though.

Ok we do it the hard way. No home games.

Will the CC ever return to Craven Park?

At least this one is on a neutral ground.

The others are...
Warrington v Wigan
Hull FC V Leeds
Cas v Hudds

I think Wolves V Warriors may be on TV..

and probably Hull FC v Leeds

Our players can't go 2 games without picking up an injury. We will simply have a different crisis by then. Not that we are gloomy or getting on excuses early!

Pointless trying to predict the outcome of any of the ties, eight weeks is an eternity in Super League and who knows what form the teams will be in by mid late July.

It's a cup game anything can happen I'm ok playing saints if u gonna get to wembley gotta beat the big teams to get there so I say bring it on

Should be a good game but still 9 weeks until the game so still a lot of rugby to be played before then.

Exactly any game is gonna be hard in the next round

The Challenge Cup Schedule is crazy, it should start a few weeks later and have no more then 3 weeks between rounds right up to the final.

I agree, 9 weeks to the next game is silly.

I just hope it gives us enough time to get some players back which it should. Providing we don't pick up anymore injuries we should have all back in next 4 weeks.

The first Saints Challenge Cup tie i was ever taken to as a kid was against Hull KR way back in February 1985 on a freezing night at Knowsley Road and HKR won by the unusual score of 8-3. Anyone else on here remember the game in question?

I think there were 3 worse ties for us in the draw so Isuppose we can't complain. It was always going to be a tough game and if we are to progress we have to beat teams of this calibre, just hope its not a Friday night game.

I hope it is, I will be in a hotel in Manchester the night before my flight, so would be VERY handy to have it on the Friday

I was there , fantastic performance from Rovers that night, Meninga wasnt given an inch all night, a great team that one., Mike Smith , Gary Prohm , Gavin Miller amongst others were sheer class.., shame we didnt perform to the same level against Wigan in the semi depriving us of a second all Hull final...

yep I was their Garry prom scored I think winning try when we got on coach a load of man u fans attack the coach smashing the window and did not get home till 3 o'clock in the morning but still was a work for 7 am happy days

I was on that bus, we had to go to Leeds to change buses, George Fairburn was brilliant that night.

3-2 down as the second half ticked away then try in right hand corner from Gary Clark. Fairburn didn't strike the conversion cleanly it barely got above crossbar height at any point but just scraped over.

Thick fog on the motorway coming back you could hardly see in front of yourself.

Thought it was 1986 though when we got to Wembley and lost to Cas. If it was 1985 I'm trying to remember who knocked us out that year but can't recall.

You're correct. 1985 was the Wigan Hull final, brilliant game, James Leuluai nearly got Hull back in the game on his own. Genuinely felt for the Hull fans that day, best final I've ever seen with Saints Bradford 1996 a close second.

In 1985 as someone has said above, we lost 18-11 in the semi final to Wigan at Elland Road.

Replay of the 1986 final is still possible!
