The only reason its got a slot on Breakfast TV on Saturday is because the BBC have moved to media city at Salford Keys and there's less to report on up North. If it was based in London there would have been no chance. Hats off to the RFL for spotting this chance

lofty?????

LOFTY?????

It's not It Ain't Half Hpt, Mum......


bloody lofty........

David Davies (sports presenter and long time anchor on the FA Cup draws) taking the mickey out of the last draw on the BBC news channel.....

"make sure you have the right number of balls"
"make sure you can tell the difference between 6 and 9"...to which it was pointed out "there is no 9.......but 1 and 7 look very similar"

Its huddersfield AT home

Will take that. What is the rest of the draw like?

Wolves v Huddersfield
Wigan v widnes
Catalan v hull
Sheffield v Broncos (the championship side have a chance !!)

Dragons v Hull FC
Tough game to call, actually the game of the round for me, Dragons good at home coupled with FC's good form, should be a cracker

Wire v Giants
Another top game, tough one for us, yes we've beat them twice this season but they seem to have a real hunger for this cup this year

Warriors v Vikings
Extended training session for the Pies

Eagles v Broncos
Probably the game with the least quality BUT a lot of interest in this, but i'm not always a sucker for the underdog and sometimes i want to see the favourite win, in this case i want London to win.
Would ideally want a Catalan v London semi.

Possibly the toughest draw for us, you'll be big favourites for this having battered us twice already, could depend on how the teams are playing and whose available as its some time off yet.

Sheffield play a good style of attacking football, with entertaining players like QLT. Aston knows all about 'cupsets' and will have them fired up. I think as with round four and their trip to Mount Pleasent last year the full time London squad will probably win on fitness etc. But providing it doesn't clash with us I will be heading over to watch!

Depends which Wire turn up. The excellent 80minute Wire; the in and out Wire, who are excellent for ten minutes then look all over the place for fifteen minutes then...all in the same match; or the careless, hopeless Wire. All of which we've seen this season.

Why whats the logic in that? Whilst I might hope that the French and Cockerneys both progress I would suggest that should Warrington be successful we might want either in the semi ahead of Wigan and in Londons case possibly Widnes

We have a good record over Wigan but don't want them in a final

What a total farce,draw made a week after last round on a Saturday morning between 7-9,one shambles to another

Glad London knocked us out in the last round

Good luck in next round,hope you go on and stop Wigan winning it

Fair play never thought of that

Lets hope we get London in the semis and Widnes in the Final pay back for my worse Wembley trip would that do?

Apart from the delay in announcing timing format etc I thought the draw presentation itself was decent enough

Thanks for your best wishes (are you a Bond character btw?) but if they draw the semis on Classic FM at 3.46 am on a Tuesday morning the week before the game I would hope we were still in it
