Yes that's right, south west London is a terrible place to live, especially compared to the lovely, affluent, crime and drug free Merthyr Tydfil. My train ticket to every home game costs me £17. Stop moaning its boring.

Not as boring as your comments.
FYI I lived in SW london for 20 years and where I live now is 10 times more pleasant and I'm sure you love living in and around Hounslow and district or are you from the Shepherds Bush area they are totally drug free of course aren't they?? in fact I suspect there is more crime in your area than mine.

You think a train ticket from Shepherds Bush or Hounslow to Twickenham costs £17? I can 100% guarantee there is less crime where I live than Merthyr.

Why don't you just give it a bloody rest? You're an embarrassment.

On to the subject of the fifth round ...

I really wanted Blackpool away! Not because Blackpool is a great place (it's a dive) but because I could relax and enjoy the game, knowing that ultimately we would beat them. Alas, it is not to be, and now I have to make the long journey to the big smoke only to be eating my fingers until the final whistle, bearing in mind our recent lucky escape from defeat at the Stoop.

But we'll be Pennyless for this one. Fev could have done us a BIG favour at the H-J today.

warrington wont let penny play in cup games thats good has he scores agaist us all the time

Wire Huddersfield will be one live game and either the Crusaders game...or Widnes (if they win) v Wigan.
If we do get a tv slot, we need to fill the ground......national exposure is an opportunity

Without Penny playing for us I don't tink we have anything to threaten them with.

Cup games are cheaper anyway, stop moaning you tight git

The RFL should be pushing the Beeb to show this.
Obviously Hudds v Wire will be shown because of last years final

Did you go on Sat- We made break after break from 40 yards + out. Clubb, BJB, Sharpe went through stacks of times. Add Dorn, Purdo and Howell to the mix and we have options to open teams up.

Against Wakey yes, but we are playing Saints

Gidley, Gardner, Meli, Wilkin, Wellens are not the fastest set of backs in SL. Whilst also accepting that Willis(Eastmond) and Wallace (Price) do have pace.

Of course. I forgot Penny played last time out. I was thinking 'Why are they saying that? They get half the cash.'

I'm rather glad that Penny isn't playing, actually. We might have a chance of winning properly this time, with no-one to out-jump our pitiful wingers! Of course, they could still be out-run but that's a risk we've been taking for years.

Um, that would be an understatement! However, Wilkin can do great interceptions, Meli is a mountain from 10ms, Gardner can actually tackle and Wello has an incredible ability to read a game, usually positioning himself beautifully (and I never quite figure out how he gets where he does, given his slow pace). So these things outweigh their snail-like qualities.


Oh, they do. They have a neat sidestep too! And good kicking games. I believe Wello is back for the Leeds match. Assuming we come through that and subsequent matches in one piece (not an assumption I like to make, given our record of injuries so far this season), Kyle and Leon could cause you problems. They were just really beginning to gell when we lost Wello and then Lomax (substitute fullback) to injury, meaning Leon filled in and we lost the halfback pairing.

However, this was not the match I wanted for the fifth round. It's too difficult. I am still bemoaning the fact that Leeds got Blackpool and not us!
