Pointless trying to predict the outcome of any of the ties, eight weeks is an eternity in Super League and who knows what form the teams will be in by mid late July.

I agree, 9 weeks to the next game is silly.
I just hope it gives us enough time to get some players back which it should. Providing we don't pick up anymore injuries we should have all back in next 4 weeks.

The first Saints Challenge Cup tie i was ever taken to as a kid was against Hull KR way back in February 1985 on a freezing night at Knowsley Road and HKR won by the unusual score of 8-3. Anyone else on here remember the game in question?

I think there were 3 worse ties for us in the draw so Isuppose we can't complain. It was always going to be a tough game and if we are to progress we have to beat teams of this calibre, just hope its not a Friday night game.

I hope it is, I will be in a hotel in Manchester the night before my flight, so would be VERY handy to have it on the Friday

I was there , fantastic performance from Rovers that night, Meninga wasnt given an inch all night, a great team that one., Mike Smith , Gary Prohm , Gavin Miller amongst others were sheer class.., shame we didnt perform to the same level against Wigan in the semi depriving us of a second all Hull final...
