Rest assured the club will send it's strongest team to Leeds with the intention of beating them. Upon reflection that is the right thing to do and I for one can not wait.

I was trying to offer an alternate view of thinking, to stir thoughts, opinions, and to place where Leeds away ranks within the set targets for the club to achieve this season.

I accept that was an unconventional way to post for the likes of reffy, who will not accept such crap honest intended debate on this board.

Onwards and upwards - Go Leythers !

Lets treat sport like sport - the board can worry about the business side of things, but lets keep to the spirit of the game.

Put a team of kids on ? you must be joking.

Its a cup gane FFS. what was the point of all the hype on Sunday if we do that ??

Give it a go and hold your heads high. We wont beat them but who cares ?

Cannot believe some of the stuff put on this thread !

Why disrespect the fans ? Lets take 3k to Leeds and give em a go !

Hope for a Friday night, Leeds main rugby night, best chance of a high attendance and generating some dosh.

If its on a Sunday put the Fax game back a few weeks - would be madness to play that during the following week

Will be a great day out and fantastic to see our top players take on some of the top players n the world.

They've said all 4 quarter finals will be shown but I wouldn't trust Sky with the Challenge Cup, they've shown they have no respect for the competition. BBC gets 1st and 3rd choice to be shown on Saturday or Sunday, Sky gets 2nd and 4th for Thursday or Friday. BBC will probably pick wG@n V Cas, Sky Bradford V Warrington then us 3rd choice so we'll probably be on BBC on Saturday or Sunday.

Lets be honest here, after the brilliant day that was Sunday this draw is a bit like a kick in the nuts. The league is what we want.

Not much luck of the draw this time.
Worst possible team away from home for us to get in my opinion (can't remember ever seeing us beat Leeds !).
Having said that I'm certain it will end up being the SKY Friday game so we will need to do as much as possible to get our fans to invade Headingley in numbers as Leeds to give the lads the much needed backing.
This is the cup and its about time the competition had a big surprise to give it a timely kick start.

1971 Leeds where red hot favourites at Wembley the press more or less said it was a waste of time Leigh turning up Leeds thought all they had to dowas to turn up at Wembley and they would walk all over Leigh ...
WELL WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THAT SAT IN MAY 71

just got home from work to find out what the draw is. God must be a Rhino, thank you.

And what about the fans disrespecting the players?

Like the 3k you refer to above that are quite willing to attend the big cup games but desert the lads every other game of the season.

Forget your jolly day out in Leeds, we need them here every single game of the season if Leigh RL are to truly realise their ambition !

The lads deserve better .

This post has now convinced me we have to field our strongest available team and give them hell

I love the cup and the chance of playing a team you don't usually play and visiting some really old fashioned grounds.
Was pleased we got Leeds

We are a different team to the last time we played them. Still expect to lose by 30-40 but a great opportunity to showcase where we have got to and a great horde of travelling fans..

Instead of pulling this game to bits let's go and enjoy ourselves and let the lads have a good game of rugby on the day then we can get down to business, it's that simple really.
