Presuming it's London Broncos I think it's a good draw , a tough test to get us ready for Round 1 rather than putting 70 on an amateur club which doesn't help anyone .
I wouldn’t be so sure London will beat Goole. Their squad’s been decimated and they’re scrambling to get a competitive team together but that cup tie could come too early for them. Quite fancy Goole away if that happens!

I agree on both counts.

Some bizarre ties in there. If my old club, London Chargers, get past Oulton (very possible) and York Acorn (almost no chance) they’ll play Hull FC. But a more likely scenario is Wests Warriors facing Leeds - they have to beat the winner of Army v RAF but I’d back them to do that.
Acorn, Wests, Parkside, Siddal and Blackbrook are all in for tough days, but I guess that’s the only downside to bringing the top clubs in. They’ll all make some dosh, host a great day and the players will have memories for life. Think that’s worth it personally.
Expect the third round to look like:
Goole v Wakefield York Acorn v Hull FC Bradford v Cas Hunslet v Huddersfield Wests Warriors v Leeds Halifax v Catalans Hunslet Parkside v St Helens Siddal v Salford Workington v Leigh Swinton v Warrington York v Hull KR Sheffield v Wigan Oldham v Barrow Batley v Dewsbury North Wales Crusaders v Widnes Featherstone v Blackbrook

I'm not saying they'll win but York will love their chance to take a big scalp
