Thankfully if there is only 1 game on the tv, you'd hope they'd pick KR V Saints, will be a much better / competitive game.

Cas never raise our game at Headingley anyway, it's always a thrashing, think we've won once there in about as long as I can remember.

Disappointing draw.

Wanted someone/where different to go for a good away day.

Instead got lumbered with our 6 fingered friends from darn't lane.

All depends on RFL giving Wakefield and Leeds permission to play midweek I'm guessing, if they do, The CC game would have to be the Sunday.

london v fev will be the game of the round for mine.

You're right, they were drawn away in every round bar round 4 last season.


quoteWhipping Boy SL Rabble at home again?

That's a surprise '"

Haven/Town would be my pick for the TV game. Should be a belter.

This "big occasion" being the tournament you used to describe as the Mickey Mouse Cup?

Hull KR v Saints has been picked by the BBC.

Just had a text saying Millward's been sacked. Anyone heard this?

Seen it on another forum. And they've been changing backroom staff this week.

Correct... Salford and Leigh away were really tough draws.

How unlucky are the Rhinos?


I doubt that.

It's more a case of the Rhinos getting no luck whatsoever in CC draws. Only drawn at home 21 times out of the last 30 draws. To be drawn away from home in 9 out of the last 30 CC draws (up to the QF stage) is about as unlucky as it gets, especially when those 9 away draws included Hull twice, Leigh twice, Harlequins, Workington and Salford.

How does that compare with the other top four SL clubs?
Surely the odds of drawing an away tie against one of your fellow top four teams is pretty low anyway.
I have no idea who the likes of Warrington, Wigan and Saints were drawn against over the past 5 or 6 years.
But my guess is they might have had as easier a ride than Leeds although I might be wrong here ( it is a serious question and not being ar$ey)

Now confirmedhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/22078634rl

So you were talking b*11_*ks again then and they weren't all home ties.

And has someone from the club or Southstander been moaning about getting loads of away ties? No, probably not so i don't really understand what point you're trying to make, apart from insinuating that it's fixed to ensure Leeds get to the final, which as we all know is what everybody wants.

Hull, Harlequins & Salford are all SL opposition and tough away games for all but the top few sides.
Is it Leeds' fault most of the other clubs aren't really very good when it comes down to it

Aha, i actually just got it!! Silly me.

After years of being able to moan about Leeds for not winning anything, now that they are it's all a fix! Leeds plan their win/loss ratio to perfection so as to finish 5th in the league because it's easier to win SL from there AND the Challenge Cup is fixed to get them to the finals (which they keep losing, because they're crap obviously).

Well done.
