Leeds away, marvellous.

Saints getting a nice cushy draw again.

Could be eating my words soon

Including the quarter final ties this season we have played/will play

rnd 4 - one of the weaker championship sides
rnd 5 - one of the stronger championship sides
rnd 6 - a SL side recovering from a poor start to the season away from home

Saints will have played

rnd 4 - one of the weaker championship sides

No real difference except we were away to championship opponents. Luck of the draw is what the cup is all about anyway.

Huge difference between getting quins or Leeds. They also have an easy draw through to the semi which makes a difference. Away games take it out of you alot more IMO.

Us having beaten Leeds in an arm wrestle of a match and capitulated against Quins from a comfortable position suggests that there is not a lot of difference. Away games against a team with 13 injured players in its squad and with as many young kids as Widnes had do not take very much out of you. Semi final, quarter final or 5th round is of little consequence they are all just one step on the road to Wembley and overall we have had just as easy a route as saints have, just in a different order.
