The away team should not be allowed to play at home. Do Salford agree to play at wigan instead of at home to get more money? The idea of the draw is to give one side a random advantage. The away team should not be allowed to play at home even if for the best on intentions. Maybe play at Hunslet? The Army won't have a fan base but if West's want to play in London go for it.

Salford v Wigan is a straw man extraordinaire. We aren't playing Salford. Or Batley. Or even Oulton Raiders. There is zero chance of an upset, this is not a David vs Goliath its full time pros vs amateurs. If our opponents want to play at home fair enough, nobody's going to force anyone to give up home "advantage." But this is not some sort of sacred cow - moving games has been done many times in the past.

Arthur suggests he hasn’t looked that far ahead and has no intentions of handing shirts out for the sake of it. Will be really interesting to see what that squad looks like.

Strong 21 man squad names almost full strength, obviously mean business Could be a record score (recent years)

I think the format of the cup is close to being how it should be giving lower league and community clubs the chance to play against the elite clubs in this country just like the FA cup in football, I do think there needs to be some middle ground met regarding using community clubs grounds as we’ve seen a lot of fixtures reversed I don’t know why the RFL couldn’t have allowed West Warriors to used London Broncos home ground for example as it would have still be a home tie for them plus you have more of a chance of locals going to watch the game instead of bringing the game to Headingley, if they allowed west warriors another stadium to use as close to their location as possible and let them take 70% of funds generated on the match day that’s what would bring magic back to the challenge cup. Anyway I’ll be in attendance tomorrow would be disappointed if we didn’t get into the hundreds especially with the team Arthur has selected. Hopefully it’s a good game and a great experience for West Warriors. I reckon Arthur goes with 1.Connor 2.Lumb. 3.Newman 4.Handley 5.Hall 6.Sinfield 7.Frawley 8.Holroyd 9.Ackers 10. Palasia 11. Gannon 12. McDonnell 13. Nicholson-Watton 14. Edgell 15.Lisone 16. J.Smith 17. Jenkins
