...and you last won it when, and I quote the mentally challenged cod-ed who confronted us on exiting the stadium you "absolutely thrashed" us!!!

Good draw I think. Anyone else see de ja vu and see Saints Semi, Wire final?

No. I only see a difficult Quarter Final tie at Hull. I don't see anything beyond that.




Leeds

Hull's last 8 results V Leeds, L, L, L, L, L, L, L and 5 of those (marked in red) were at the KC Stadium where overall Leeds have come away with the points on 10 of their 12 visits. That sequence of results (from Hull's POV) L, L, L, L, L, W, W, L, L, L, L, L does give FC a crumb of comfort though.

Should be a good game and one to look forward to, just a pity there's such a long wait now for the Quarter Final ties now.

I think Wigan will beat Warrington in this one and should Leeds win meet them in the semis.

Forgot about that! Good job you highlighted it TVOC. "Oooooooooools faaaaithful - you'll never win at Wembley!"

I can see Wire's fairytale dream of a hat-trick ending in the quarters. My mystic ball says Wigan Semi and Hudds Final.

Judging by that record of results, I clearly overestimated Hull FC by referring to them as SL whipping boys.

Leeds will beat them with Bailey and Kirke starting in the front row.

The quote in my Sig particularly made me LOL

I suppose being 3 points off the top of the table after missing half the side all year means we have been poor though. Who knows?

The common thinking was that Leeds are an easy opposition and a good draw because we "stuggled" to beat Crusaders. Is it 8 weeks until the quarters though? We could have a full team back by then and as it stands even at the mo I think we will run Wire and Saints close over the next 2 weeks. With a pretty full team I think we will be a match for anyone again. You dont become a poor team over night. We still have the talent to beat anyone in this squad.

Think it is around 8 weeks, yes.

And I am not denying anything that you said, however I too think that if we don't win our home QF draw then we don't deserve to be in the Semi. Regardless of who it's against. Surely then you will finally have one true deserved winner at the end?

The way it's panned out if Hull win the next 3 games then they do deserve to win the comp because they will be all against "big 4" teams (and/or Huddersfield) more than likely. Regardless of who wins between us I think the other 3 semi teams will be Wigan, Hudds and Saints. Out of those 3 I think Huddersfield will be in the final.

We'll play Hull in consecutive weeks (the game before the QF is at Headingley)

would that be the wire side we have already beaten at their ground, and the wigan side we were denied a draw with at their ground due to a last minute missed penalty

Déjà vu
