Draw is going to be made at half time of the Widnes-Toulouse match live on sky...



Who do you fancy getting? The way we are playing I am not bothered who we get but as long as it's a home tie... Unless Keighley get through then want an away tie at theirs!!



Would prefer to miss the likes of Leigh and Widnes at this next stage though... Although niether worry me.

Anyone but Barrow away really, Though preferably a home tie.

Oldham at home would be an interesting clash.

Oldham @ Oldham will do me nicely, I could walk to the game





That said, Their supporters bus goes from a pub 5 mins walk from my house as well, So could be right cheeky and book on that

Not bothered who we get in the next round. Feel we have the confidence and the ability to beat anyone in this comp.

It would be a tradegy if we get Widnes away.

Come on does the game never learn, the top two of each group should have been seeded, Widnes will finish second if they win at Barrow and we could draw each other!

Last year we had the most one sided Final ever with Donny getting there.



What benefit do you have for doing well in your group (other than qualifying)? - Nowt.



I would like York away, nice trip and very winnable game, next would be Oldham away.

Other than that anybody at home.



I bet the boffins want a Fax v Widnes Final - I would just love us to get to a Final.

Perhaps Mr Carrot is averse to Widnes' hideous away kit, or Leigh's brand spanking new stadium.

because i think that having us 3 at least in the semi finals makes it more interesting. I am not fussed if we do draw you i think we will beat you anyway.

You win all your group games and then you can get drawn away?



Usual RFL fairness and logic in action!

Surely this would work-



Pool 1 Winner vs Pool 2 4th Placed

Pool 1 2nd Placed vs Pool 2 3rd Place

Pool 2 Winner vs Pool 1 4th Placed

Pool 2 2nd Placed vs Pool 1 3rd Place





Giving home advantage to the teams who finished in the top 2 of their pools.

Of course that would work - it is logical and equitable............but the RFL do not do logical and ethical.



My fear about an open draw is that Fax and Widnes (two teams who would definitely grace an event such as the NRC final) could well meet in the first of the knock-out rounds whilst, like last year, one of the 'lesser' sides goes all the way avoiding the bigger sides who are knocking each other out.
