Don't think it's that bad a draw. Maybe we could have drawn a National League side but it would only have been delaying the inevitable.

Cas away will be a good game and a money spinner. And who knows...

Cas will break that defence, we need to keep them off our line. and not give away repeat sets of 6 like we did vs Widnes.

There's other teams in our division who, given that many play the balls on our try line would scoe more points than Widnes did, Its important not to let them get there in the first place.

From the Oldham Chronicle. Fully Agree with what Chris Hamlilton says there.

He is actually expected to take Nigel Woods' when big nige leaves/explodes.

I'm pleased with this draw, not because I think it is an "home banker", more to the fact that I enjoy playing Fax. Good set of fans and always a good match when you guys come to town. Would have been happy had it been at The Shay personally, always a nice ground to visit.
As mentioned previously, we have improved somewhat on last year as our league position suggests, but so have you- any team with Ben Black, Shad Royston, Sean Penkywicz and a host of other top players will make sure we don't have an easy day. Keighley got in our faces in the first half and our guys didn't like it, so if you do the same for the full 80 minutes it could be a real tough match. I would hope home advantage will work in our favour, but you just never know in the CC.
All the best in the league, hope to see you all at The Jungle come May!

I have a funny feeling we might win this.

keep their scrum half in your pocket and your in with a good shout.Ran the show at cougar park in second half.Me thinks i will have a punt on your lads.

We'll have to keep an eye on Brad Davis.

of course its fixed thats why there is only 2 super league clashes for the purpose of good tv games

........... and the last round? Give your heads a little tap over this crappy conspiracy theory. I agree - it was shortsighted of the RFL not to broadcast the draw but to suggest that there's some great Machievellian scheme to fix the competition is ludicrous. It shows more of their stupidity rather than their cunning and guile in manipulating a competition draw. This is the Challenge Cup - not the multi-million pound Champions League.
