If I'm not mistaken the BBC have the rights to televise the Challenge Cup but did a deal of sorts with Sky that allows Sky to televise some CC games.No doubt someone on here will have more knowledge than I.

Thanks Sheepridge.

No worries Sergeant.

Probably more to do with the fact that we've knocked the current holders out and Wakey have had lower league wins.

Strange explanation We have won 6 games to your 3, some 50% more including I'm delighted to say a win against your good selves, I'm sure though you know what you mean.

Yeah but will the bookies take the other competition into account?

more to do with us being at home and a better team.

and the fact we have been to the final of the cup twice in 2006 and 2009.

Surely Weakfield Mildcats are the better team,the SL table proves it.If we get a win it will be a major achievement.

Oh dear is that it?
We did after all beat your sister club Sheffield Giants in the last round and look forward to knocking the Huddersfield Eagles out this time

Still no explanation then, something else to take into account, we've won more games in this competition than you this season as well as in the league.
Brearley's probably got the most sensible answer with you having home advantage and nothing else.

I got us when we were still 25/1 add that to the £303 quid I won on the Brierly hattrick at Wigan and would be able to buy 2018's season tickets as well as 2017 should the unimaginable ever happen, Happy days. Home draw was my preference and Wakey was the team, I would imagine Giants were team everyone else wanted to draw as well, that said we are improving slowly but not getting carried away after beating a very poor Leeds team, loads of improvement left in us yet but great to see the likes of Roberts, Mason and Johnson getting better minute by minute

Bless you are all upset that the bookies have us to win.
But yet bookies are rarely wrong....

God the game is weeks away and the nonsense has started already

Whoever wins I doubt the bookies will have any influence on this game, but if you believe they will you hang on to that thought

We Giants fans are a pretty tolerant lot and can take some ribbing with regards to a failed merger some 16 years ago but there are certain things that should not be allowed to pass.

Six games to three is 100% more. Stop doing Wakefield down - you're even better than you think!

8/1 for the giants to win cup

basically thats 8/1 on us winning the semi final game

back us e/w and make profit if we get to the final

I'll be honest, as a Leigh fan I think you may win the CC!

Lapses in concentration have cost you dear, but I think your a great side in a false position tbh.

I witnessed the away defeat at Waki and I have to say we were thoroughly outplayed! However, as we're all aware its a very long season and we will know more as we get closer to the actual playing date in terms of form, injuries etc. I feel we are on an upward trend though (without getting too carried away) and I'm looking forward to seeing how we get on against Catalan on Saturday.

both teams in cracking form right now, who will keep it come quarter final time?

Wakey were lucky Cats missed 5 goals
To me they are looking vulnerable now

You forgot to mention they scored more tries than us as well

classic

What.?

Your won't see Richards miss that many in a game again

He buckled, it happens!

Looking forward to a great game. Yes I am confident of a win after our recent form but expecting a hugely difficult game as Wakefield are doing brilliantly at the moment and really seem to be playing as a team for Chester.

I've no doubt if it had been Huddersfield playing Catalans and not us, the emphasis would have been on Brough's match winning kicks and not Richards failures' just a thought really.
