| Decent draw, Widnes at home to Wigan might have kept the winning margin down.
Catalans, Huddersfield, Wigan, Sheffield for Semis perhaps.
Did they introduce our Brian as Mr Nobble right at the beginning then Noble after that.

I think there'll be a very strong case put forward by BBC Sport to televise the Catalan game, if for no other reason than a jolly in the South of France

If the games were this weekend I'd back Hull and Huddersfield to pull off a result but who knows what the chances will be in July.'"
I was at that game, it was more the fact Wigan didn't really put all that much effort in. We beat them quite easily while not really getting out of neutral, let alone 1st gear.

We've got a lot better since then. Teams hate coming to Don Valley too. Also - Sheffield Eagles have never lost a Challenge Cup Quarter Final!

| I had BBC breakfast on for an hour or so before the draw and there were constant references to it coming up. They really took it seriously after the mess Bacon made of it.
Well done beeb, quality presentation

| I agree. The coverage and draw itself was done very well. Couldn't have been better.

| After all the hand wringing the draw was good and plenty of references before and after it.

| Bet the RFL are secretly praying we don't get a Catalans vs London semi, be hard to get a neutral venue for it that'll get a big crowd.
I can see a Wigan vs Hull final coming up, though I'd prefer Wigan vs London, as all the neutrals will get behind the Broncos.

| Scott Dureau could be back in the driver's seat at Catalans by July. If so, and Casty, Fakir, Mounis, Pelissier, Pryce, Millard, Escare, Taia, and Menzies play, Catalans will defeat Hull FC by at least 20 points.
If Gower, Witt, Dixon, Robertson, Sarginson, Bailey, Cook, Fisher, Kaufusi, Wheeldon, Lee, Bryant, Krasniqi and Dorn play for London, then they will easily account for Sheffield.
So we should see London and Catalans in the semi-finals, which will be a breath of fresh air for rugby league on the BBC.

No they won't. Most RL fans I speak to want London out of Super League. Looking at the current score London could have the Chinese army behind them and it wouldn't matter.

Theres no telling what will happen in the space of 2 months but if Hulls key players are fit then Catalans wont be winning by 20+ regardless of who they have available.
Warrington, Wigan, Hull and London in the hat I reckon.
