| Depends on the days each game are played....thoroughly enjoyed watching Fev v Cas on the wonky pitch...but think an overall more enticing line up for TV would be Wire v Bulls and Salford v Leeds.
No disrespect to Fev.....but Wigan will own them....50 points atleast.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

Cas didn't own them. Fev are a very decent attacking team and if they can have the same spirit on their own line as they did against cas then I think it could only be won in the last 10-15mins.

There's the chance of a blow-out, but it could also be the great underdog story. Depends if TV are willing to take the gamble.
I do think Wigan will win at a stroll, but then we probably thought that at Widnes earlier this year!

| Not very exciting in my opinion. Hopefully the next round will bring up some mouthwatering ties as the best 6 teams in SL are likely to be left in the draw.
Wire, Wigan, Leeds, Catalan, Hudds, Saints, London and Halifax to go through.

| Hard lines Fev - given their heroic performance against Cas, it would have been nice to see them get a slightly less impossible assignment in the next round.
Upset of the round - Batley will turn London over; you heard it here first.

Really?
Fev away to Wigan after a display like that against Cas.
Leigh v Halifax should be a decent game between two fairly even sides.
Warrington v Bulls should be a test of the Bulls new found form.
Just how exciting do you want it?

Beat me to it Bren. Well worth a visit to Mount Pleasant.

Have they switched it already?
Would have preferred a few more all-SL ties but got to be happy at drawing a Championship team, even if it's one of the best. A televised quarter final is a big incentive.

Firstly, that isn't a dig at Fev...I have nothing against them.
But Wigan are not Castleford...Fev will surely raise their game again...but Wigan are on fire at the moment...I just can't see it being close.
My point was mainly aimed at the best line up for TV games....and I stand by Wire v Bulls and Salford v Leeds.
I'm a London fan....believe me, we are more than capable of being shocked by Batley...although, I still think we'll go through......once the next round comes about and we land a SL standard team...then it's good bye to the cup from us!
But...the beauty of knock out sport is that on any given day an upset can occur...

In the 4th round there were 3 games that looked like they would be crackers, Fev v Cas, Hull v Hudds and KR v Catalan. Hull v hudds didnt turn out that way but saints v widnes turned out to be an exciting game.
Warrington will beat bulls by at least 18, Fev have will be unable to repeat there performance against Cas and even if they did they would still lose to Wigan. Leigh v Halifax could be a good game but I have to admit I dont follow championship rugby so wouldnt have much idea on how that would go.
Looking forward to the next round though, that will be good.

| Really hope Fev get the TV game V the humbles.
Leigh will beat Fax, then draw the winner of Batley v London at LSV, win that, then draw the humbles.
Do them and go to Wembley.
You heard it here first!
Oh look, some rocking horse s**t!

Bit harsh on Leeds mate, think they'll run us closer than 30 points.
