Bet west hull are kicking them self's would had been playing hull fc in the 4th round of the challenge cup

Happy with the draw. At least we avoided a SL side. Are this team the one that rose from the ashes of Crusaders after they folded? Still think that was a cracking atmosphere and, if so, I hope they bring a few across

Hope Rovers are on TV, but not Leeds Cas. That has cricket score blowout written all over it.

Hell yes!!!

Play young forwards and threequarters, keep first choice half backs so they have more game time together.

Would be happy with a balanced team of youth and experience, its a chance to score big work on combinations and most importantly raise morale and rest players that need it for the week after.

Really hope Horne is rested personally, would just be our luck that he would get crocked if he played in what should be a training exercise. Think Holdsworth might figure in this one, might be a chance to see how he goes and if any problems he can come off and we would still have more than enough in reserve to win (obviously DJ's call but hopefully he is on the mend)

Crusaders are probaly the best side in Championship 1 this year with ambitions of promotion. We should have more than enough to beat them, but it is a chance to give Shaul another game as well as Hadley. Bowden, Green to feature also - cunningham might even get a run out to rest Houghton.

Great draw for us.

The aim in any cup competition is to win it and whether you have either have a favourable home draw or win away at Wigan, it only gets you through to the next round.

Cup gates have fallen over the past few seasons. Though ours hold up better than most, there's not a lot of money to be made, so you might as well have the easier draw, rotate the squad and aim to progress to the later stages.

Think Pearson fancies a trip to Wembley and with players coming back and signs of hitting some form, we might be a good outside bet for the cup.

Good draw, exactly what we wanted. Hopefully gametime for Shaul, Crookes, Starling, Hadley and maybe even Holdsworth?

That day in Wrexham for their last ever home game was one of my favourite memories from following sport. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX_6Jqzr2hs

Far too many rested, dont take the out of any side they can come back to bite you

Still a good enough team to put 50 on NW.

are you joking? if a superleague team cant put 50 past a bunch of amateurs then there really is something wrong.....
fc's squad players should easily torch them...

what would people think the ticket prices should be? anything over £10 for adults would be an insult.... and the crowd would be terrible if it was... id say, £8 adults £3 kids, just to get 4k i recon
