Murphy and Schofield, Wigan legends !!!

Word is they mixed up the 6 and 9 balls & announced the wrong games. Common sense would say they just change those two games, but could be a redraw.

Gary Schofield + Challenge Cup failure = the more things change the more they stay the same.

Houston. There is a problem. Possibly for the BBC

Leeds Carnegie are at home on the Saturday afternoon. It's the last regular season game for them and all fixtures kick off at the same time which is 3pm that afternoon. I doubt very much the Leeds v Saints game will be on the telly unless the BBC decide to show the game on either Friday night or Sunday afternoon.

Terribly unfortunate CC draw for the Leeds Rhinos yet again as their bad luck continues unabated.

In the last 10 seasons, Leeds have...

1) Been drawn at home only 17 times out of a possible 25.
2) Been unfortunately drawn away from home 8 times out of a possible 25.
3) Have drawn WBSLR 13 times out of a possible 25.
4) Have drawn Non-SL Rabble 6 times out of a possible 25.
5) Have drawn French Surrender Monkeys once (At home, naturally).
6) Have drawn serious SL opposition 5 times out of a possible 25 (At home on each occasion, naturally).

It's about time Leeds got some luck in Challenge Cup draws.

No.

Really.

Comparisons to the other big SL teams???

Oh, thought not

Are Huddersfield still categorised as WBSLR then (given we played them away last year)

No they were beaten due to the stupidity of Brett Ferres.
Had he stayed on the pitch, in all probability the issue of the drop that never was would not have arisen.

The first time wigan will play even half decent opposition will be the final.

And even then it will probably be someone like cas/salford, who will have a 30% completion rate.

2011, Bradford (a), Wire (a) Saints semi final, Leeds (Final)

You missed one out .Wigan vs Barrow Challenge Cup 4th Round ... Sunday, May 8, 2011 .

Just luck of the draw you DONT have to feel guilty enough to apologise.Just how it goes 3 years since 2011 though

I wonder, how often wigan fans are going to keep dining out on this draw? In 10 years time, if wigan have had 10 consectuive years of avoiding decent sl teams, will they still quote this 2011 draw?

You expect decent teams in the final and semi, if you avoid them it's considered a massive bonus (like wigan avoided them last year for example).

Bradford are crap. So there was one decent team on route to the business end of the competition that year.

I think the reason people have picked up on wigans recent draws is because they are so favourable. Teams have good runs in the past, but to make it all the way through to winning without having to play one decent team......i can't remember an easier draw than last year in the history of the game. Then to back it up again this year with championship teams at home, first 2 rounds. It's taking easy cup draws to a whole new level. It could turn out to be the easiest, luckiest back to back cup win in the history of the game.
