hunsletgreenandgold 733 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 We'd take a derby with Hunslet Warriors or any of the other 5 Leeds teams to be honest. Be nice to have quiet one with our old friends up at Queens Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BARRETT 25 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 I thought Queens had disbanded. Obviously not - but what did they win to enable them to be included in the RLCC? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopping Mad 625 Report post Posted December 12, 2017 Think I shall be heading over Stainmore to watch Distington take on Queens. Shame the Celtic trio - Longhorns RL, Strathmore Silverbacks and Valley Cougars - were drawn away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll go for Featherstone Lions beating Skirlaugh and (if the pitch is a bog) Saddleworth Rangers putting out Thatto Heath. Can't see many possible upsets in that draw.

I know there's been a couple of incidents when getting to the rounds where pro sides come in that amateur sides haven't benefited much from the tie but still don't understand why that would make you reject RL's most prestigious tournament - especially in the early rounds, it's a decent preseason game and for the home sides at least a bit of money for the club.

Can't see many possible upsets in that draw. Seen Wallsend Eagles play a few times this year in the North East league. Play some great attacking rugby. I think they could definitely cause Pilkington an upset. I'm sure Pilkington will already have one eye on the night out in Newcastle after the game..... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
