| Quote: NickyKiss "2 very good ties, infact probably 3 with the Sheffield game. We went to Sheffield in 2011 and they gave us a massive test for 60 minutes. I'm sure they'll put everything in to this game and they may push London close.
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.

I would have thought that Warrington, Wigan, Catalans and London would be in the hat until 30 minutes ago, when I saw Catalans leak 4 tries to Castleford. I am now of the opinion that many members of the Catalans team lack sufficient fitness, which is the fault of the coaching staff. The team's defence is not good enough for the full 80 minutes. Laurent Fraysinnous is not a great coach, which Trent Robinson was. So I have revised my views and I am now of the opinion that the Catalans vs Hull game will be a close encounter of the worst kind.

They went down for the QF v Warrington last year, can't see why they wouldn't again.

If Catalan beat Hull I think they should hold the semi final in Avignon. They had 16,0000 odd for the test in 2011 and it would be good promotion for the World Cup. It would probably cause too much controversy and outrage this side of the Channel though.

| Quote: Grimmy "Isn't every QF televised these days? Three very good games there. Only let down is ours which ought to be a battering tbh. We've had a very very easy run here, only the winner of Hudds/Wire could stand in our way IMO. Hope Sheffield cause an upset, I wonder who the last championship side was to make the semis?'"
There are no words...
