Great choice by the BBC as far as the neutral is concerned I think.

A chance to see a possible Cup upset and two new teams not shown yet this year.

Yeah, happy with it. I'll probably make the effort to go see both the foreign teams in action at some point so this one's a bonus.

The Oldham connection will give the BBC a chance to wheel out Kevin Sinfield for a bit of pre-match heartlands 'build up'.

Haydock is a team that I have thought about a lot since I was a child. They have made a great impression on the rugby league world over the decades. What a wonderful opportunity now to see them in high definition.

Is that because living in Chorley it made them your local team just down the M6
