Leigh v London has got to be the stand out fixture. 

Haven will be pleased with thier draw they may even break the 500mark 

York & Barrow have the short end of the stick - not much revenue from away support and likely to go out. Let's hope the locals can attend in their numbers

I think sky have the rights to show a match, as do the BBC online.

Would love to see Leigh v London and York v Catalans.

Looks like you're right.

I thought Sky didn't come in 'til the next round.

You kidding? I'm absolutely buzzing!

I reckon York could get 3k in for this one...

A few tasty encounters on the cards.

TWP gets a shot at redemption vs. our League 1 accomplices Barrow. they traveled twice to the Den last year and now we travel to them twice. Will a pipe burst near the pitch a day before the game by chance?

Will London dump Leigh out? Tie of the round?

biggest upset in the making for York vs. Catalans? Dragons don't travel well and you know the Knights will be all hands on deck for a SL scalp. Might be that Catalans are focusing on the league vs. the Cup Toulouse style?

Just on Toulouse you’d think the RFL would be putting big pressure on them to stop this ‘ boycott ‘ and get entered in the Cup from next year 

if you don't want to play in the cup send your C team for some minutes and get knocked out..bam! But to not participate at all is rude...so French! lol 

Should be mandatory for all, respect the Cup.

Nice trolling. Those teams will be chuffed.

I’m with Gav, I’m excited that Catalan are coming to York, it’s something different from the status quo. Also the way the club are now they are forward thinking and modern enough to know you don’t have to rely on away fans for a big crowd.

I think you guys have a shot at taking a SL scalp here. Yolk will be 1000% ready to go for this and Catalans might not be that much into it. 

Up the kneets on this one!!!!

Here’s hoping, a very much doubt we’ll come through, but then that was my thought when we played you last year, what a day that turned out to be.

As much as DJB hates cameras in his ground i don't see how the Leigh vs London tie wouldn't draw people to the TV?

Be good . And great exposure for the championship . Intriguing match up between the failing favourites and the high flyers

The only question here is which club wants to win least. with both sides probably resting key players. With the focus on the top 4,  who really wants the distraction of a cup run along with the risk of season ending injuries ?

Plenty matches with no away support. Do Toronto actually get something

I don't see Leigh resting players at the moment. More games the merrier at present.

The former Widnes Chairman, Tony Chambers, who was the driving force behind the redevelopment of Naughton Park into the Halton Stadium was from Coventry. He would have been absolutely delighted by the possibility of that match-up in the Challenge Cup.

York v Catalans or Barrow v Toronto would be great TV games IMO.
