| It's not upto me to add context that is your responsibility.
I haven't said leeds are lucky or unlucky. You have challenged the idea that Leeds are unlucky yet have failed to provide relevant data to back it up.

Think you will find that opinion on every clubs forum

Offered without comment. Cup draws are what they are. You're never going to get an even break of "hard" and "easy" draws.
Course, what constitutes "easy" draws are going to vary over a period of time. Ten years ago, Huddersfield were rabble and Bradford weren't. But I'm sure you've adjusted your stats to take account of that?

How lucky or unlucky would you consider being drawn at home 18 times out of the last 26 is?

Still no context to your original post and classic deflection.

Why don't you treat us to the posts you had prepared in those circumstance?
It's Ctl+V, just like it was for the one you put up.

| Anyway, back on topic - everyone at Leigh thinks it's an easy draw for them, too!
Seriously, it will be great to mix it with the Rhinos again, and for our youngsters to get the chance to play against Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire, Hall etc. again.

| As for the rest of the draw,
Warrington and Widnes will go through, Widnes might have a cheeky chance of a final if they draw Wire in the semis IMO.
As for Wigan and Castleford, if played now would be a very good tight contest, much depends on how well Cas are still performing when the game finally comes around. That along with home advantage means probably a Wigan win (but likewise their trip to Oz might finally start taking a toil on them by then).

Billy Eve , as Reg Kray once said "Don't think you can avoid the unavoidable until the results are ready to be explained in full ".Charlie knows .

I could have adjusted the stats to take into account the much reduced chances of drawing non-SL rabble opposition in Round 5 and the Quarter Finals on the basis that most of them have already been knocked out of the competition. But I didn't, hence the earlier "7 times out of 26" stat.
My personal opinion is the only luck worth hoping for is getting a home draw and in that particular department, Leeds have done extremely well over the past decade in securing a home draw 18 times out of a possible 26. Only a moron would declare such a record as "unlucky" or lacking context and there are plenty of morons among Rhinos fans on this forum.

Why do you spend so much time on here then? Surely if it's full of morons, you'd find a more enjoyable way to spend your time. Moron is as moron does and to keep coming back to a place full or morons to point out they're morons probably makes you the biggest moron.
