really can't call this as its so far away

If it was being played next week I'd say Wire would edge it but its 9 weeks away and anything can happen between now and then, will be a mighty fine day our though I'm sure of that

I honestly think that this game will decide the outcome of both major trophies , the winners should go on and lift the Challenge cup and the team that loses will regroup and kick on with added incentive to pick up the League leaders sheild and SL trophy..Huddersfield will no doubt be a threat as will Saints but Wigan and Warrington do look the most likely to pick up silverware

Any news on the date?

A lot can happen in the next 8 weeks (or however long it is) we are nowhere near hitting our peak yet and Warrington are at the top of there game, that could switch around before we play them quite easily, Hock and Fielden will be back. Cant wait though, should be a sell out and a cracker!

It'll be the Saturday.

This is the dream tie for the BBC.

Good post. Let's face it, despite what some fans of either side are saying, it will be a very close game, and hopefully a chance to really showcase our game on national TV.

i don't think dire keep beating us because they are a better(which they clearly aren't) i think it's psychological, just like when dire couldn't beat saints for approx 100 years, it will be a great match apart from being awash with warrington scum in the ground and pubs nearby

That is absolute comedy genius, , take a bow fantastic, i wish i had a windolene addiction that made me come out with stuff like that!

The most regrettable aspect of this draw is the 9 weeks of undiluted ar$e gravy that will be served up on here as a result.

thanks but it's all down to my mate stu, he's a real dire hater, oh and it's pledge

First chance i've had to comment on the draw and i've got to say i'm happy enough with it. I think we proved on Sunday at Bradford that we aren't at our best in games we're expected to walk and we play at our best in high pressure situations. We'll go to Warrington as underdogs as it stands and that will suit us fine imo. We will see our players fired up and ready to match fire with fire with an aggressive Wire side and i'm expecting an unbelievable contest.

They're a great side but so are we and as people have mentioned it's a flip of a coin game. The gap between the rounds now means it's impossible to call as so many things can change in that time.

Can't wait.

you don't have to come you know!
on a serious note games are won and lost on psychology.


on a less serious note....
psychologically your already at a disadvantage now when you enter the land of scum, we can smell your fear (as well as the smell of old pies)!


back on topic however, i feel this will be our biggest test in the CC this season apart from getting huddersfield i viewed this as our toughest draw. saints are wrecked with injuries and are ripe for beating at the mo. will they recover in time for the next round? only time will tell. who will win between wire and wigan? i would think it's gonna be a tough and close match from start to finish.

More than happy, Dire away, then Leeds away and Stains in the final! Repeated in our Grand Final route, please.

We played Hull KR in the playoffs?

its no wonder most rugby fans,especially us wire fans,dislike wigan when you have bells like g-string as supporters.on a rugby note should be a fantastic game enjoyed by 2 passionate sets of fans.
