very interesting

If we play Leeds Rhinos one of us is guaranteed through to next round

When do Toronto start playing in Canada ?

They don’t play CC games in Canada, they play them at Manchester Regional Arena I believe.

Well looking at the teams left in we all know Wigan or Wire will get Whitehaven

My observation is that there`s a few in there that start with a W.


Leeds- HKR my prediction.

This is why this format doesn't work. The teams that come in at this round are pretty much guaranteed to play a SL side, whereas the sides who finish in the bottom 4 will virtually guarantee coming in the round before and playing lower league opposition. Flawed.

Either Featherstone or Warrington away on a Saturday afternoon, please.

Yes, but presuming they beat the lower league opposition they end up in this round, pretty much guaranteed SL opposition but having played a game more. Can't see the issue personally...

Whitehaven away would be great to go somewhere different, not been in 30 odd years. All gets a bit repetitive playing some teams 4/5 times a year.

Hoping for at least one pairing of Wigan, Saints, Wire, Cas, Hull. I can’t see anyone else causing us any trouble. Obviously nice to be drawn at home.

It’ll be interesting to see how Toronto do, if they’re drawn against Widnes/Salford/Hull Kr/Hudds.

What time is the draw?
And is it on the radio?

From 8.10 tomorrow on the Chris Evans show on Radio 2. JJB will be there to comment.

Cheers mate thought it was this evening.

so when I get up at 5am eastern time the draw will have been made .

Hull KR v. Wigan Warriors

Castleford Tigers v. St Helens

Toronto Wolfpack v. Warrington Wolves (Wolves will be the home side)

Leigh Centurions v. Salford Red Devils

Featherstone Rovers v. Hull FC

Catalans Dragons v. Whitehaven

Widnes Vikings v. Leeds Rhinos

Huddersfield Giants v. Wakefield Trinity

Not bad, the kind of game where I think if we ain't capable of winning that we were never in with a shout in any case. Not sorry to lose Cas or saints from the comp either. Wigan's trip to east Hull is on a par with ours and Leigh Salford looks likeliest for an upset.

Hudds Wakey should sell out.

Decent draw in the scheme of things.

Some absolute belting ties drawn think the top two on the above post will be TV games.

Be a tricky game at Widnes who will be hoping they can turn a corner and perhaps get some form back against us on a ground we have struggled at recently.

Cas v Saints is a interesting tie both have aspirations for OT the winner will be busy in the CC the loser can concentrate on the League . Wigan will be favourites for this comp just now and I have a sneaky feeling Leeds could be cup winners

four TV games in total, two on Sky and two on bbc.

Wakefield v Hull KR on the Sunday week before so they cannot play the Thursday.

Not the best draw given our recent record there, but could've been worse.

Widnes Leeds in challenge cup would have been a wow draw 30 years ago, it s meh draw now. in fact anything other than semi final is a meh draw for me, its a shame but the cup is just not that interesting unless your into semi or final.

wish the cup would go back to last 32 all super league and all championship clubs and the remaining others simply straight up random draw.

Yes, I mean, Hull FC haven't won the CC fo....oh, hang on.

This pathetic skid mark still craving attention.
