Presumably, whoever we likely end up with will end up being at home because of their lack of stadiums?
Why couldn't the round three draw be undertaken after completion of round two?
I like the idea of an away fixture against a lower league side but I was expecting that to be against a Championship, League 1 or League 2 side rather than literally anyone.
On the plus side we'll play a team we never have before, and it gives a chance to play a bunch of the younger players. Not so many we lose hopefully.....

My understanding is that all fixtures will be an 'away' fixture for Superleague clubs, so as to give the other club an opportunity to have a big club travel to them and gain all the financial rewards it would bring.

So we have an extra game to play, and yet we now also have - (Player Welfare & Education Forum (PWEF) to help ensure player welfare), which i find bemusing.
Match limits :- The RFL has rules that limit the number of matches a player can play in a year. The limit depends on the player's age and position. For example, forwards over 22 can play up to 2,000 minutes, while backs over 22 can play up to 2,400 minutes. Players 18 and under have even lower limits.

I would envisage most Super League teams wouldn't play many first teamers in this stage of the Challenge cup..

Well those of you who are for it, I trust in that you will be attending the game?
