pensioner 50 Report post Posted February 24 2 minutes ago, ST1959 said: Ball no9 was Rochdale now come we play Sheffield ???? Because ball 9 was Sheffield, the numbers are allocated in alphabetical order so no way could Rochdale be 9 and Sheffield 8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silverfox 433 Report post Posted February 24 Absolute shambles On the BBC, number 9 was Rochdale . Then they gave out Leigh v HKR , big cheer goes up in the audience from Leigh supporters only to be told they were away to HKR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidM 8,363 Report post Posted February 24 They’ve had problems with draws before . Which is understandable given the complexities of putting your hand in a bag and pulling balls with prearranged numbers on then reading them out . 1 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then they gave out Leigh v HKR , big cheer goes up in the audience from Leigh supporters only to be told they were away to HKR. They had wrong numbers, some of them, on left hand side - Swintons for example...then they whipped them off screen when they realised cock up........ And at the end he just had to read the draw out without seeing them on screen. The "big cheer" as you say, was when number 4 came out.....the draw was being made at HULL K R's ground so it was HKR's number 4 they cheered for....it wasn't Leigh fans..none there.

The beauty of the RL Challenge Cup has been diluted since the inception of Superleague....and before that the dominance of the Wigan team started the rot. I'll never forget standing with 13,000 at DP versus Hull KR, and 17,741 versus Wigan...the cup was then the RL holy grail for sure. BTW I heard the guy on Border TV News say tonight's draw would include all the 'big guns'........who gives this lot such duff info? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
