Fax SHOULD have beaten Hunslet

Great draw. We should win if we play well, let widnes and barra, batley and sheffield kick lumps out of each other. And then hopefully draw the winner of keighley vs york in the semi's

Fax blow hot and cold!!

Lets hope they are blowing cold on Sunday too but that apart i dont think Hunslet will be push overs at all but i'm sure Milward will have them sussed

So amateur opposition in the first round of The CC aside, this is now our fourth consecutive away pairing in a knock out draw since moving to LSV.

Wakefield, Halifax, Limoux and now Hunslet.

Dont be counting them chickens just yet. I am saying a Leigh win with quality that you have but it wont be easy.

chickens remain uncounted believe me - but it would be foolish to suggest that this was the worst draw we could have had. Halifax played two games in the space of 3/4 days and have never treated the NRC with the effort it deserves. On the other hand this is the best shot we have at ticking a box so complacency should not be an issue..

LSV asked SKY to factor their pitch '40 game' rule into the draw!

Just been on SKYBET you are now 2/1 favourites to win the cup.

I hate being favourites for anything

not me fred.
in a sporting context i love being shot at.

If we reach the semis I'm sure we'll be behind the winner of the Widnes v. Barrow match in the betting

is it me, or do we get a lot of away games in the cup, before being knocked out ?
last season Halifax & Wakefield away, now Limoux & Hunslet away, but do you tend to forget the 'home ones'. Hopefully we'll get home ties in the next rounds !

cant remember going to hunslets ground before.
what is the pitch like big or small?

small with a running track around it. A smaller version of the Don Valley

[iTAKE SOME BINOCULARS.

york springs to mind then.i think no mistakes & we should still come through it.

If your lucky you may see Thomas the tank engine from the stand.

Never been to Hunsleticon_eek.gif How old are you?



Anyone remember the time we went there and Ingy was going to kick at goal from the touchline on Halfway after a try i think the ref told him he could go closer if he wanted hahaha

wish we were at home but it could have been a lot worse.

Is it the one with just 1 stand and grass all round with running track ,if it is i remember last time i went Hunslet kicked for goal and it missed by a country mile but it was given and all the Leigh fans sat there very bemused

It is.
Was called the South Leeds Stadium (maybe still is).
If my memory is right Leigh was the first team Hunslet played at the new ground back in South Leeds when it opened......we got beat


Indeed with Fax officially opening a stand v Leigh we do seem to get the new ground / stand deal in West Yorkshire, remember us going to Dewsbury to be the first team they played at there new (current) ground.

i think the last time i watched hunslet away was at elland road but iv'e no idea when that was.

I remeber playing against Hunslet when they played at the dog track. Seem to remember HKR's place being one also.

Didn't Hunslet originally play at Parkside?
