Nice to be drawn at home eh?--or is it?? Probably Televised ??

Cmon lads !!
(PS Should suit Ponner!!)

First thing to say,what a bloody farce of a draw,why have people who don't know owt about,or really care about the game doing it,when they would rather be blathering on about what clothes folk are dressing in.Don't blame them guys,it's the head of the bbc who allowed that to go ahead who needs a rollocking.

Bound to be a Saturday telly game,which means the away stand will be packed with 3000+ Rhinos,and then about 1500 of ours if we are lucky sprinkled around the other 3 stands.

Great draw PG , the only one that could have been as good would have been Bulls, or poss Wakey. Hope i'ts not on TV. This is where some of the clubs high flyers should ckick into gear and get it marketed.

It would make my day if Broncos could knock out Budfud,surely the southern geezers/northern expats & aussies will be right up for this game if no other.

On the other hand it would be great to put out Budfud in the quarters having dispatched Hetherington at ours

I think this is a decent draw for us. We have to play the good sides sometime, might as well knock them out early. There should be a decent crowd also, especially if it is not televised. I expect it will be, it's the best tie of the round.

Let's hope HKR play a lot better this time than last and knock the pies out. Not a lot of luck for HKR, drawn against St Helens and then Wigan. Playing at home takes a bit of the edge off I suppose.

Catalans the lucky side, Hunslet and then home to York. It doesn't get much easier than that. Workington to beat Widnes, perhaps? A long shot but you never know. Warrington easy winners, the other ties reasonably balanced.

And there'll be a least one non-SL side for us to play in the next round.

HKR no chance vs Wigan imo.

Leeds at ours will be all on the day imo,if we play good footy shifting it to the edges with good structure we could win,if we think we can just go up the middle and wear them out in an arm wrestle,no chance,they have far too many quality strike players.

Let's hope the weather is grey,breezy & cold will suit us,Broughy's kicking game etc.

Tie of the round. When the top sides meet it can never be predictable, at least we have home advantage. Still would have preferred York.

I'm really happy with this Matt, we have a good record against Leeds in the last few seasons, I'ts when we draw the so called easy teams we turn up and play like amateurs, We have to deliver against the top sides , and we have to do it week on week, I remember not so long ago we got the weak team every draw, i think it was something like Donny, Pia ,and York, Then Saints wiped the floor with us.
