What’s happened to it. Advertised for 9.35am, still waiting.

Usual RFL cock up

Full Draw

York V Wigan
Swinton V Warrington
Hull KR V Castleford
Catalans V Wakefield
Featherstone V Hull FC
St Helens V Leeds
Leigh V Huddersfield
Salford V Widnes

Ties to be played 10/11th April

Are these games being played as "proper" cup ties at the grounds of the home clubs or, will they be played at a single venue, as per the regular SL games.

Just the televised games at....I'll say the term loosely, a neutral ground as it looks like a double header

I'd put my money on Salford or warrington being chosen

Which games are gonna be on tele then? I reckon York v Wigan and Saints v Leeds.

Saints vs Leeds
Leigh vs Huddersfield

Those are the TV games IMO

Featherstone vs Hull FC has the potential to be a class game. I’d have that on the TV with Saints vs Leeds.

Just looking at the comments here, it's clear that we now accept that the challenge cup draw as an annual farce - which it clearly was. I don't know where they made the draw but it looked like a council run sports field,.
It came across as completely amateur.
This is supposed to be a prestigious event, when are the RFL going to make it look like one. No wonder we struggle for sponsors.

there have been worse draws done in a studio, remember the wrong ball fiasco? nothing wrong with the location as it was the first day of sports recreation re-opening, it was the bbc who we're at fault for messing up the live feed, other than that it was fine
