Disapointed we're not goint to have an away trip to a national league club and go somewhere different this year but that draw is going to make for some interesting quarter finals;
Id expect a semi final line up something like the following;
Huddersfield or Catalan Dragons
Warrington
Leeds
St Helens
Castleford
Wigan
Hull
Hull KR
It'll mean guarenteed big games for the quarters and semis whatever balls they draw out.

Can't believe bradford v wigan is on the box. Having seen bradford the last couple of weeks it will be embarrassingly easy for wigan. Salford/hkr, or even widnes/hull would be closer contests. In fact, saints/fev will be a better game.

Wolves 2009 draw
4th round
If your honest Wire have won 2 challenge cups on the back of winning mainly easy ties - The only challenging fixtures in the two years you have had is huddersfield away, leeds in one final, and us one semi- add to that, in the only challenging fixtures you've had, all those teams were distinctly underpar and never played to their usual level - Leeds performance last year in the final was their worst all year, as was huddersfield away, and we beat ourselves in the semi two years ago.
Wire have not yet had a challenging game in their cup run.

He always was sh#t at magic that lad. If Harry Potter would've been involved it would have been :
Wire v stains
Hudds v Leeds (Leeds away)
Wigan v swinton
Send him back to hogwarts, the dosey t***.

To be fair to warrington though, they can only beat what was put in front of them.
as for tough draws, If I remember correctly, saints' route to cardiff in '04 was..
Bradford (treble/world champions at the time)
Leeds
Hull FC
Huddersfield
Wigan  |

Come on now, last year you had a fairly easy route to the Final. Granted, Huddersfield away was a mightily impressive win. But Featherstone are a NL team, Bradford were pathetic last year, and Catalans were bottom of the league when you played them.
Similarly, in the path to the QF in 2009 I'm fairly confident Tony Smith would have got over the line against the opposition you played early on. |

You thought wrong 
It was Wigan who beat Warrington in the semi final that year. Saints beat Hudds in the other semi.

In 2009 warrington beat 2 out of the top 4 and yourselves. Okay, so we did well avoiding saints and leeds that year. In 2010 we played 1 championship side (arguably the best) and 4 super league sides which included a 60-6 mullering against a top huddersfield side away from home and a destruction of the champions in the final. I'm sure if we had beaten saints in last years final people would be saying that we had it easy because we never played leeds.
