its going to be

saints v wire

wig.... oops.. Leeds v catalan

I'd rather play Saints than Leeds...

I had a dream the other week that I was in an underground cave being tortured with spiders by Nigel Mansell and Lou Carpenter from Neighbours.

I took that to mean that Chris Hicks will play some part in proceedings.

If we draw Leeds it'll obviously be an easy ticket in Huddersfield but if we draw Saints and it's at Widnes, as I expect it would be, there could be a very quick sell out. There will be more bandwagon jumping Wires after tickets this time than there was for the semi last year and I doubt Saints would have trouble selling their allocation.

Obviously Catalans will be a doddle to get tickets for wherever it is (hopefully Widnes or Leigh).

I'm not bothered, season ticket holders get priority.

Ridiculous though it sounds considering that we do actually beat Leeds occassionally I have to agree. They're taking the Cup seriously this year and I think their players who have up to four Grand Final winner's rings and zero Challenge Cup winner's medals want to put that right.

None of the three oppononents will be a formality, though I accept Catalans are by far the weakest, and likewise none are an impossible task, but personally I do make Leeds favourites for the Cup at the moment so they're the ones to avoid.

Exactly. Leeds really want the CC this year and we are due to beat Saints.

Don't want Saints.

But we will get them.

In order for me;

1. Catalans
2. Saints
3. Leeds

dont want saints

^This.

Leeds are the team to avoid - no question.

I've heard whoever we play. we WILL play at huddersfield.

I doubt that if we get Saints.

The ideal location would be Widnes or the Pie Dome purley because it is closer for everyone and it is roughly in the middle.
