Again..

Sheffield or York away please.

Although after getting Hull and Catalans away since the free tickets for ST holders was brought in, we are probably due a trip to Harlequins.

For me a home draw against a team we can rack up a bit of a lanslide against would be ideal for building some confidence.
Though part of me thinks getting knocked out first hurdle would be good to focus on improving league form and stop people feeling the need to post copy and paste messages about what is up coming in an annoying font just to be different.

WE NEED A HOME DRAW
and thats all that matters in this round.

I always enjoy a trip to Batley - just to hear the home fans calling every pass forward!!

Don't you mean "Forrerd"

skolars at home!

Here we go.............

Hunslet away

I'll take that - not been there before

Can't wait for that one. Not been there before either.

Saints v Sheffield Eagles
York City Knights v HKR
Fev v Lezignan
London Skolars v Widnes
Leigh Centurians v Les Cats
Wiggin v Barrow
Leeds v Crusaders
Batley v Hudds
Dewsbury v Swinton
Halifax v Bradford
Hunslet v Salford
Rochdale v Cas
Gateshead v Quins
Wire v Keighley
Hull v Oldham
Doncaster v Wakey

Leeds/Crusaders and Fax/Bradford look like the 2 stand out ties to me. Hunslet although away should be a (no disrespect) straight forward enough tie.

All things going perfect I wouldn't mind Leigh or Widnes at home in next round

Two ex-reds likely to be playing against us in this one. Richie Barnett (played a few games for us in 07 I believe) and Neil Lowe who played half a season in 03. (KOTS to confirm this for me)

I've also noticed that the March twins are playing for Hunslet now. Perhaps their mum has ordered that they always play in the same team as each other? "If you go, you brother goes." Do you remember the dust up one of them and Mal Alker had way back when?
No doubt that the Hunslet players will play with plenty of aggression against us. However, if we match it we'll blast them away in the first half and we should make it easy for ourselves.

Remind me - is it just season ticket holders, or members too, that get this game free? Just wondering in theory how many of each we have relative to the capacity of the South Leeds Stadium.
