The Challenge Cup starts to welcome the big boys tonight as four Super League teams enter the illustrious competition in round five.
Last year’s bottom four teams; Widnes, Hull KR, Salford and Wakefield, all enter the competition alongside teams from the Kingstone Press and amateur leagues.
For most, the lure of a potential game against a Super League opponent would be a preferred choice, while others may have their sights on a prolonged stay in the competition.
Lock Lane are the only amateur side left in the competition, with 16 teams in the draw before the remaining eight Super League teams enter in the next stage of the competition.
Sam Tomkins and Sean Long will conduct the draw.
