Same here.

Haha I was laughing my head off every time Mr French said James! Typical BBC!

Anyway some good draws there, I would imagine it would be our game and possibly Hudds and Cas on TV.

I'll be gutted if they change it

Likely to be Saturday apparently, that's when they put the biggest game on (according to Bilko).

Doh

So Cas v Wakey,
Was a bigger Game than Bradford v Wigan!!!!!!!

what a farce we couldnt get the live draw in the north-west the RFL and BBC dont give a toss about the CC and they wonder why fans dont go to matches when the comp is belittled by them both. let Sky televise it you would at least get a live draw that could be seen in all of GB.

Unfortunatley i have to agree 100%

Well if Wigan do knock us out and go on to win it, we won't have to worry about them as regards the play-offs, as it's apparently impossible to win both competitions these days.

Sorry this is utter rubbish.

To suggest the RFL don't give a toss is very much wrong. The RFL will have tried to get maximum coverage for the draw but the T/V stations etc just won't give the airtime to what they see as a minority sport.

The local rivalry probably meant that the Cas v Wakey one was tbh. And that's how it turned out.

Getting sick of these easy ties though.

I also agree. Sky make more fuss about the clubs choice in the play offs than the BBC do for a cc draw.

They didn't even tell us what number each team was before the draw. Nobody from any teams involved was there to comment on the draw.

It's no wonder the cup as lost all it's romance and magic.

Top draw but you do cringe at our over confident contingent..

scratch on the scorecard this one as it always is. It will be a fantastic game though. The whole QTR final draw is intriguing to say the least. Hopefully it will ignite the comp.

e[Take the challenge cup semi finals one is played on a saturday one on the sunday,the sunday one is no less important than the saturday one though is it??
Its a bit like sky and their showing of super league games the one on the friday always appeals more than the one on the saturday for some reason!

I'm just glad its however many weeks away. If it was played tomorrow we'd get smashed. Hopefully by that time though we've hit some form and you've lost yours a bit!

I stick by what I wrote I would imagine more agree with what I said than you Fat belly.

Loved the fact that Robbie Paul was grinning like a cheshire cat while man-voice wanted to wax lyrical about the Yorkshire ties. I thought there was a midget tickling his bum once the draw had been made. ALL he wanted to discuss was Wire Vs Wigan, and who can blame him? Not sure the producer on BBC Yorks wanted to hear about how great this match should be. This is the tie for the neutrals and anyone who loves British rugby league at its best. It promises to be a cracker, cannot wait.

Same here.

I'm 90% sure that it will be the Saturday.

Ahem, that's Robbie Hunter-Paul to you.

I was going to correct the 'were' to 'we're,' but then I realised that he even writes with a Wigan accent.

Crapped myself at first thought it was the weekend before when im away should be working on the saturday and sunday but a few coughs on the phone should sort me a day off.

After trying, unsuccessfully, to stream Look North, and then listening to Radio Five. I tuned into Radio Leeds just in time to hear;

'That concludes the draw......'
