Spike Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Who do we want? Haven at home imo.. easy way through to the super league clubs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Winthorpe Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 No Haven would be a battle and we would risk injuries we don't need in the league battle. The poorest team from round 4 at home. As it's the 70th anniversary of our greatest day, this year a cup run would be good but only if it didn't spoil our league efforts. Not bringing in the SL clubs until round 6 is deplorable. Even the FA Cup allows the smaller league clubs a chance to draw one at round 3. We only need a cup run if we get Wigan at home at some stage. I'd make a special tri down for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven at home imo.. easy way through to the super league clubs I wouldn't fancy Haven at home spike, They are a lot better team now from then when played them learlier. I would like, another Div1 at home to be honest but whoever it is get them at home, but if it turns out to be haven we certainly give a game.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death to the Rah Rah's Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Haven at home for me, we aren't going to win the cup and its all about getting a good crowd and a big pay day 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither team is going win the trophy but there would be fierce rivalry in a derby, providing great atmosphere, and lots of cash.. with the winners possibly facing a Superleague prima donna outfit in next round... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember years ago having a great away day to York, though I cant remember which stadium. I just know we ended up in a bowling alley right near the ground having a laugh, then in a pub opposite after the game with a load of York lads, brilliant day that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure about that Troutmaster. 40 points scored in 4 league games. I'd take them at home in the next round. A winnable game and a good crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townie88 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Whitehaven at home be good. Big crowd, good money for both. Won no matter what the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith T Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I thought the draw was to be made at Half- time in tonight’s match between Leigh and Widnes on Premier Sports I remember when ............................."It is impossible not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Workington Town, the fall guys this season for the Super League's determination to retain it's European dimension, in the shape of Paris. While the French have had every assistance to survive, the importance of having a flagship in a heartland area like West Cumbria has been conveniently forgotten." - Dave Hadfield - Independent 25th August 1996.

Remember going on the last game of the season and spoiling their coronation party,but also remember shipping 70pts there in a play off game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unicorn 106 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 So it's a trip to the cul de sac, could have been worse, should be a decent pay day for both clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
