Yes Pro teams in one bag amateurs in another and as there are more pro teams than amateurs a pre draw is done to decide which pro teams go in the same bag as the amateurs. This year it was Leigh and Workington who ended up in the amateur bag. |

Your first wish was never on. French teams cannot be drawn at home at this stage of the competition. |

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Red Hall conspiracy I say  .
Just out of interest, if there are two bags, how do they decide who is the home team? |

There was a third bag with balls saying 'home' or 'away' on. A team was drawn from bag A (18 semi-pro clubs) and then a ball from the home/away bag to determine whether they would be home or away then the second team was drawn from bag B (amateur & French clubs plus Leigh and Workington)to complete each tie.

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

I was at Oulton for the second round to see them against the Army, shame some of the Army side had never played before, going for a drop goal at ten nil down doesn't help the side much

Not sure I like the seeding. Can't see the harm in there being a few all amatuer ties. There might be a few cricket scores in the next round, but it's likely to happen regardless.
Also, why only 2 French teams at this stage? Didn't there used to be more?

There did. Not sure the exact reasons, but there were rumblings about clubs having to organise travel and time off to get down there. No mention of the reciprocal problem which is hardly exacerbated by banning them from home ties in round 3. |
