Got to beat good teams if your going to win it.

in the CC you can play poop and still reach the final, or play great and get knocked out. Its all about the luck of the draw IMO

2/8 teams in the quarter finals will be NL1 teams for example, so thoretically we can reach the semis by only playing ameteur teams. Im sure widnes will go all out against us and shouldnt be taken lightly, but i know id rather be playing widnes than hudds.

Im happy with the draw and looking forward to you visiting the stobart stadium really hope it isn;t on the tv as want a good crowd and a great atmosphere.

You are correct, the crowd was a little over 6k and would be probably be pretty similar this time round. Widnes are in no condition to give Wigan any semblance of a game right now (to be honest they may well struggle to beat the French anyway). I'm afraid people claiming "almost full house" and "competitive game" that should be on TV are well wide of the mark.

Crusaders v Catalans Dragons or Harlequins v St Helens
Huddersfield v Warrington

Would imagine they'll be the two television games.

I hope so

True you could be really lucky and avoid the likes of Leeds and Saints.

An easy draw would of been better don't get me wrong but we won it last year having to beat Hull KR away Wigan and then Hudds its a very hard draw but if we want to keep hold of the Cup we need to be able to beat anyone.

You do conveniently forget to remind us that your first two games were v York and Featherstone.

And whats your point?

and your point is

this will be the second time to widnes IN ONE SEASON- the joys :')
i went watching Widnes vs St.Judes in the 3rd round. i think they best they had were the on or two strong runners coming off the short balls so i can definetley see us in th'hat for the next round. i just wished it was at DW

Forgive me if I am being thick, but have Widnes and this French side played yet? Or do we not know who we are defo playing yet?
