Er, is it an upset if you expect it?

That's not quite what I said is it. You can acknowledge a team is an underdog but has a fighting chance. I don't really see any of the underdogs having a chance unfortunately. Barrow might give Huddersfield a go and I guess Fev could theoretically give Catalans a good game but I cant see it. I was hoping to see the champ teams draw the poorer SL teams at home to set up a possible shock.

Looking forward to seeing Fev against Catalans to be honest. 2nd best last year against grand finalists. Proper underdog match. Let's see if Fev can hold their own and see if they would have deserved to be in the SL instead of TO.

Considering heading over to watch the match now.

They didnt, they were beaten comfortably in the final. Do you also not think the Fev squad would be a little different if they had been promoted? They'd be full time for a start so I dont think this match is a good gauge of how worthy Fev are over Toulouse.

Has anyone on social media claimed it's a fix yet?

Or should we give it another five minutes?

I asked my lad too have a look on the RL Twitter site things, and he said some Leeds & Wire fan’s were moaning about Saints getting Whitehaven. In fact one person  said “they knew Saints would get Whitehaven”. The Games gone.

Who do I want as Leigh fan (if we get through), Leeds would do nicely at the LSV win or lose I would love to see that game.

Are Premier to continue showing Challenge Cup games now that it will not only be Championship and below clubs involved.

Have Bradford “cried off”tonight ?

Also see above.

If you had both read my my earlier post, you would have realised I was taking nothing for granted, so Paul I didn't forget we had to win first and Dav no Bradford did not cry off.

Apologies accepted.

5 games live on tv

BBC have Leeds v Cas and Barrow v Hudds

Premier have Wigan v Salford and Wire v Wakey

Sportsman has Whitehaven v Saints

Thought Hull KR vs Leigh could have been a good one, but looking forward to so many games that weekend...

It's not right Leigh not being on the telly, making us fans travel all that way, it's not as though Leigh have been on TV a lot already this season

Yep if true, I can't find the schedule only seen TBC, where have you seen it?

Monday night was never a TV slot for this round (or presumably any further rounds) because of SL clubs having to play the following Thursday/Friday

Surely Leigh have to agree Matt, don't they?

They couldn't have picked a worse time and day!!! Alot of fans going to miss out especially the local amateur clubs.

Yes, all of the clubs have to mutually agree the dates (with input from the broadcasters and RFL where necessary), but I was just pointing out that Monday was never on the table once Super League clubs entered the equation.

So are you saying Gubby's information of a Monday night is not correct, as I said all I can see is TBC for the schedule.

Premier Sports have already confirmed their two games as being on the Friday (Wigan v Salford) and the Sunday (Warrington v Wakefield). Even before the draw was made, the programme scheduling had indicated that their two picks would be on the Friday and Sunday.

I would recommend adding rugbyleagueontv.com to your favourites or following them on Twitter. Always WAY ahead of the game on such matters.

That’s what happens when you are at the mercy of broadcasters, I’m afraid. Conversely, Saints fans seem delighted with the time and date. 

I don’t know if there’s a compromise that can suit most parties.

Broadcaster has replied to a tweet saying they had nothing to do with the date/time!
