Challenge Cup draw...

[The Phantom Horseman]

Catalans away.

Not exactly what we were looking for

[Fevrover]

Certainly not ,we will have to give the 1895 Cup ago and most importantly the league.

[Normy_Rover]

I hope we don't pick up any unnecessary injuries in the game

[Phil Briscoe]

Very disappointing draw for so many reasons. 

[haskey]

Of all the 15 clubs in the draw we end up in the South of France. Vert disappointing.

Nope but what we should have fully expected. 

We got Hull at home at this stage last year.  Lets not expect anything for another decade.

I used to think Lee Crooks was a great player back in the day.  Gone right off him now.

12.5% chance of getting 3 away ties.  I could go on......

It's absolutely horse sshite

No chance of winning and a costly trip for the club. Personally I'd rest a few key players rather than risk injury.

  On the positive side we may net between 30 to 40k from the tie and we go into the game with no pressure.Just don't take the players over there too early.Wigan had a week to prepare over there and didn't score.Too much wine me think's.

It’s a draw that no one really wants, it’s a financial burden to the players and the club itself, players having to have more time away from their daytime jobs. No financial gain for the club whatsoever. Any other time we would have considered going but unfortunately too busy this time and Terry got a scheduled operation that very weekend and that’s more important at this time 

[Les Tonks Sidestep]

Hopefully someone will take pictures to show the approx size of the crowd this time.......

   I wanted Cas or Leeds at home but you don't always get what you want.When i was 3 i wanted a Rocking Horse for Christmas and didn't get that.We should fly the team out Friday evening Short work out Sat 11am and we should be ready to go.

That brings to mind a comparison... Rovers getting a plum tie at the business end of the cup and rocking horse poo.

  Yes a home tie would have been great for our supporters but lets face it we are not going to win The Challenge Cup.So we have to make the best of it bigger fish to fry at the end of the season.

[lingaro]

They said that in 83

Hope all goes well with hubby, Maureen
