This CC draw is a god send even early season Dobbins will have to field a full strength v York whilst we can rest those 3-4 players that are still carrying those knocks that players usually carry etc

But with us playing Cats away and Wigan at home, it's two games where we probably wouldn't be expected to win anyway. Trying not to be negative, on the flip side it's obviously the best time to play and maybe surprise them. We'll probably see the first choice 17 against Cas in Westys testimonial, and then use the Cup game to see the fringe first teamers featuring heavily.

I don't mind the draw, but maybe superleague clubs shouldn't be seeded, that way you still might get super League clubs playing each other early on and champ clubs have a better chance of progressing to the 4th/5th rounds
