Ian kirke's thought's on the draw... www.therhinos.co.uk/news/927.php

Seems odd 10 super league teams drawn together. Im disapointed as this is really the only chance lower league teams get to play a superleague team!

surely you mean 6k free tickets unless they've increased the capacity without telling anyone? or are the excess fans sitting in the cricket ground?

Im on about the full ground there.. with Leeds Rhinos season ticket holders too.

meeting us in a final and watching us balls it up again

No chance. Grand National Day

Saints have 6.5k season ticket holders.

Ahh right and what does our away stand hold? 4k?

For cup games aren't away teams entitled to a higher percentage of tickets???

I wouldn't be so confident on a neutral venue against the current holders though, so I'm happier to go through or go out at this stage V St Helens.

It will deffinately be Sunday I think, it's the Grand National on the Saturday.

They used to be guaranteed a certain amount of seat tickets apparently. Things might have changed now though

I wouldnt know.. ive never seen the away stand full for a cup game.

Ahh right, that explains rhinoms assumption then, i wouldnt know though, i cant see saints bring 6.5k worth of fans with them. would be good if they did, but cant see it, so i think that they will be given a certian % of seats and away stand, due to seat season ticket holders and season ticket holders from leeds in the west terrace, that % i think will be around 4k

I'm pleased with the draw and it should be close to or even a sell out.

If we are fortunate to win then then the Pies at home will do nicely in the next round.

Never mind, looks like Leeds wont be going any further than the 4th round this year.

and.....

Did they heat up the Leeds and Saints draw balls in the oven again !!!! lol.

Hope the games on the Sunday. I'm out Saturday for my birthday and it'll involve a bit of messing about



Just looked on the Bulls page they aren't happy they've missed out on free tickets and have to travel to the South of France

When do they usually announce the TV games?

I assume season ticket holders will be able to keep their seats so if Saints have more than will fill the Western Terrace then where are they going to go - don't forget the capacity is restricted due to the issues in the southstand?



If enough of them are seated in the North Stand all you will hear all match is "Forward"



Should be a great game - so we have Wigan, Saints, Catalans, Saints, Bradford next five games

If we win they've gone and we have a good chance of winning it.



If we lose, we'll win SL again this year.

My thoughts exactly. Its not exactly win win, but if we win the game we'd have to throw the trophy away from there. If we lose, we will have a really well rested squad, while St Helens have their annual party in London, shortly before humiliation in Manchester

Thank you for saying that - were you one of those at Old Trafford this past two years saying we wernt going to win the Grand Final???? Theres nothing like being the underdog...........
