Whitehaven away.

[mickhornet]

Very difficult .

[RogerT]

Especially after Dewsbury.

It seems Dewsbury played 4 or so fringe players. The thinking on the Dewsbury fans forum is there is no money to be made any more from the Challenge Cup, the money is in how high up the league you finish. Sad but interesting.

What`s particularly hard about a trip to `Haven? Could`ve had a lot worse draw than that.

A more local fixture wouldve been preferable.Itll be a hard slog up to Cumbria with little reward money wise.Hopefully youll get through and get a big superleague team and make the club a few quid.Good luck.

Wins in Cumbria for Hornets are very rare, the only good thing is lunch at Cockermouth.Get there 5 minutes before ko  and leave 5 minutes after.Its a graveyard.

Depends on the attitude and team that turns up.....We were written off in Toulouse not long ago and Oldham's excellent win this week at Fax shows what can be achieved.  All the remaining SL clubs join the fray for the 6th round, increasing the odds of a more lucrative tie, so much to play for.  For now, we need very good performance v Toronto and hopefully a decent Friday night crowd to help swell our coffers.

Good crowd Friday night in the rain? Have you ever been to the Rec at Whitehaven?

Weather forecast not too bad for tomorrow in Rochdale; even late April in Whitehaven could be tricky, day or night!

Its the worst fixture possible, an away game in the rain and the mud with probably a small crowed against a hard team who will really fancy themselves. The only plus is if we win then there is a big chance of getting a super league team at home.
