Never confident of beating you lot! That would be foolish given our record against you-even when you were gash. Just felt you at home would be our best chance of progressing.

A fair assessment

Strange that despite the fact that Wakefield should be favourites we are 8-1 to win the cup they are 25-1 lot closer game than that I think !!

I suppose a lot will depend on your horrendous injury list.

I'm happy with the draw, considering the teams we have both dodged - I'd imagine you guys are pleased too.

I reckon form will play a big part, Hudds seem to have put together a few good performances lately, whilst we have gone off the boil a little bit. Should be a good game in any case.

indeed, dont want anymore especially in the pack.

ellis will be back by the time the cup comes round too.

hopefully by then we wont be the lowest ranked team you could have got.

you or widnes were the teams to get at home, cant wait.

Bit of a blow is that as our small circle much prefer Sundays to Friday evenings.

Doubt we will get on TV,more likely HFC v Cats & Wire v Wid would have thought.

Now the wendyball is over wonder if they might consider playing it sometime on Saturday,even a tea time KO to avoid a TV clash.

I think all four are on TV

2 sky and 2 BBC
Hope we're on the beeb

Wonder which TV company gets first pick,assume BBC,as Sky Sports only come in to the CC when they feel like it.

BBC have primary rights hence choice Sky have secondary rights plus highlights of semis and final.

If I'm not mistaken the BBC have the rights to televise the Challenge Cup but did a deal of sorts with Sky that allows Sky to televise some CC games.No doubt someone on here will have more knowledge than I.

Thanks Sheepridge.

No worries Sergeant.

Probably more to do with the fact that we've knocked the current holders out and Wakey have had lower league wins.

Strange explanation We have won 6 games to your 3, some 50% more including I'm delighted to say a win against your good selves, I'm sure though you know what you mean.
