Huddersfield v saints
Dewsbury v Wigan
wakefield v Whinos

Well I was young in 79 but I was there and there is no doubt it was a great challenge cup campaign.
I just checked and I thought Featherstone and Barrow were in second division but they were relegated that year so clearly not the best teams. Oldham ended up middle of second division

So I agree with your comparison to Warrington and Leeds for semi and final but not the Hull or Cas ones

I love the cc but its taken a back row seat . I'm left. Thinking would I prefer a good cup run against lower sides and poor gates or a pay out in the form of a home game against a side that will provide a reasonable crowd. The arguments are would it be better to get a few games under our belt and reach a semi or focus on the day to day bread and butter. I think the hand we have been dealt this seasons for the best

tha'll tell us owt

Good feeling about this game..
