London By looks of it Cas V Bulls

Or it could be Goole.

Presuming it's London Broncos I think it's a good draw , a tough test to get us ready for Round 1 rather than putting 70 on an amateur club which doesn't help anyone .

I wouldn’t be so sure London will beat Goole. Their squad’s been decimated and they’re scrambling to get a competitive team together but that cup tie could come too early for them. Quite fancy Goole away if that happens!

[quote="FIL":1bl41pw1]Think there could be some real blow-out scores... https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/ch ... -opponents[/quote:1bl41pw1] Some bizarre ties in there. If my old club, London Chargers, get past Oulton (very possible) and York Acorn (almost no chance) they’ll play Hull FC. But a more likely scenario is Wests Warriors facing Leeds - they have to beat the winner of Army v RAF but I’d back them to do that. Acorn, Wests, Parkside, Siddal and Blackbrook are all in for tough days, but I guess that’s the only downside to bringing the top clubs in. They’ll all make some dosh, host a great day and the players will have memories for life. Think that’s worth it personally. Expect the third round to look like: Goole v Wakefield York Acorn v Hull FC Bradford v Cas Hunslet v Huddersfield Wests Warriors v Leeds Halifax v Catalans Hunslet Parkside v St Helens Siddal v Salford Workington v Leigh Swinton v Warrington York v Hull KR Sheffield v Wigan Oldham v Barrow Batley v Dewsbury North Wales Crusaders v Widnes Featherstone v Blackbrook

I've edited the title as it's misleading

It’s possible isn’t it if Rovers play a weakened team and underestimate them. Same goes for Bradford and Cas.

[quote="PopTart":3jatxz7l]I'm not saying they'll win but York will love their chance to take a big scalp[/quote:3jatxz7l] Yeah, Acorn will fancy their chances.

Dewsbury Moor v Dewsbury Rams is an interesting one in the next round with the winners visiting Batley Bulldogs .

Trip to east Yorkshire on the cards.

Goole then!

The 3,000 capacity will not be enough

Nice novelty challenge cup away day for us similar to Siddal last year. Should be a few more travelling support this time round though. Looking forward to it.

Pleased for Goole. Game came a few weeks too early for London - they played London Skolars’ backline and a few triallist forwards too. No idea how they’ll line up when the Champ season starts but I’d be amazed if they challenge this year. Wests Warriors v Leeds Rhinos!

[quote="The Avenger":22dvxni6]The 3,000 capacity will not be enough[/quote:22dvxni6] Doesn't look particularly good for Parking, the grounds basically trapped between the Docks and a big housing estate.

[quote="deeHell":15rnanzb]Doesn't look particularly good for Parking, the grounds basically trapped between the Docks and a big housing estate.[/quote:15rnanzb] Same as Siddal then, get the club bus along with match ticket. No worries.

I'm sure everything will be fine at Goole. The same as it was at Siddal last year.

The ground’s less than a 10 minute walk from the train station and the pubs. If you go from Westgate it’s a 44 minute train (change at Donny).
