Challenge cup draw.

I bet saints are more gutted than we are lol

[Sharlotiger]

Our record against Saints is poor, at least if we go out early it will give the lads a few weeks breather and help with our SL ambitions.

[gateman]

We don't seem to have much luck in challenge cup draws , but we should fear no one at home , some one as posted St Helens wont be too happy either, the match is sure to be on BBC TV and played on a Saturday this game being the pick of the round

[old cas lass]

With playing a fellow super league team, this means if we want to progress, we have to play our best 17' as will saints. Meaning no rest for any players.

Unlike Leeds and Wigan, they can now rest a few and bring 3/4 youngsters in.
I think further down the line this will benifit both Leeds and Wigan.
Making there squads fresher for the run in.

[Normy-Tiger]

We will have a real tough game vs Saints

Leeds will play a bunch of kids vs Barrow

We play each other week after at MM.

Great.

[fast hands]

Can't believe some of you are writing our chances off before we've played, wonder what they would be saying if we had got an easy tie. 'WE SHOULDN'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM LOOK WHAT HAPPENED AGAINST FEV' .
Come on lads and lasses, let go of your negativity.

Typical easy tie for wigan

And Leeds.

Sometimes even the best teams can lose at home against barrow in the cup OCL

I think the BBC are looking at both Thursday and Friday night games for this round Gateman.

Times have changed xp, though swinton did do Huddersfield. I think Leeds will be much harder as they are by far a better team than Huddersfield.

[gateman]

Tigerade , I hope your right RE the games being played on a Thursday or Friday this would suit me down to the ground, I might have to have missed watching a Normanton knights match,

[Scoopage]

Be gutted if we're Thursday night.that wants sacking off straight away.

[Scoopage]

It says ties to be played over weekend 13/14th so should be Saturday sunday

[gateman]

fingers crossed its Sunday but I honestly think being the best match it will be the Saturday match on TV

I agree, I think Cas will win, I just hope it's not at a price with a player aggravating a minor injury to make it a long term injury

Here is how the Liverpool Echo sees it... they will be disappointed with having to come to us.

Any news on the date of our game yet?

I'd be surprised if it was on Thursday or Friday night. This is the challenge cup and nothing to do with Sky. We only play Thursday & Fridays remember to suit Sky Scheduling. C.C games to be played over the weekend of 13/14 May. BBC 1 on Saturday afternoon or BBC2 Sunday afternoon

[Tigerade]

My mistake - Sky have the Thursday and Friday night games after the BBC have first choice on which two games they want to show on a Saturday and Sunday.

Last year the schedule for round 6 was Batley Vs Catalans (Sky) on a Friday night followed by Tigers Vs Salford (BBC) on the Saturday.
On to the Quarter Finals we had Hudds Vs WTW on the Thursday followed by Wire Vs Widnes on the Friday.

I would imagine with Tigers Vs Saints been pick of the round - we will be on Saturday on BBC.
