All Tough draws in next round

Dewsbury away is a great tie. Very happy with that.

Pleased for Swinton and Barrow. Get them some money in the coffers

Salford v Hull KR looks an interesting fixture.

I hope we treat the competition and Dewsbury with respect and don't send out an understrength team

Fev at home will do (assuming that we beat Dewsbury)

No that tie will be reserved for Wigan or Leeds

Very good draw and a good chance to rotate some players who need a rest. Give guys like Walker, Crowther, Annakin etc a go.

Very happy with that draw, it's a game where we can rest some bodies before magic weekend while still respecting the opposition

Hmmm resting players. That's what Huddersfield did.
I wonder how that turned out.
Play the best fit team for me.

I think Huddersfield have many more issues going on than just resting a few players for a cup game. I'm also not too fussed if Dewsbury beat us in a close game, I think we need to focus on the league this season to make sure we cement our place in the top 8 and the cup could become a bit of a distraction

Looking at Dewsbury, a run in the CC is not far off their season, as it is for Swinton

Swinton....I remember going to a Wednesday night cup match there, it was a draw, something daft like 11 11, there was more than a hint of an "understanding" between both teams, which looked more likely after we murdered them in the return to our place.
I liked the ground, the club bar building (with windows) was so close to the touchline, it [iwas[/i the touchline, if you opened a window there was a fair chance a winger would run through it...lol

or mebbe it was my imagination

Dunno if they're still at that ground

Agreed

No need to rest players unless Chester thinks a couple would benefit from a rest.
But, certainly worth giving Batchelor & Crowther a full part in the game.

A cup run will generate confidence and a buzz within the squad, after all, we're already
in the last 16, 3 games from a final !

With a favourable draw lets hope we can do one step further than last year.

Should we get past Dewsbury, I don't think there will be an easy fixture to get to the semifinals. Last year we had (rd5) Sheffield, (rd6) Tolouse, (1/4) Huddersfield on the run to the semifinal

Last year we had an extra round to play so Dewsbury then Fev/Fax will get us to semi again.

I don't advocate wholesale changes for the sake of it but it is the perfect oppotunity to give a few guys who have played big minutes a week off to recharge the batteries. Afterwards we have probable must win against Widnes at the magic weekend then another easter style weekend to follow so we need to take the chance to rotate. Guys like the two you've mentioned, Annakin, Sio, etc are more than capable of getting the job done and would mean guys like Huby, Wood & Arona can refresh themselves.

Game confirmed as 8pm kickoff on Friday 12th May at Dewsbury. Tickets are available in the club shop.

Let's get there in numbers to support the team and show the Dewsbury lot that we could be an asset to their stadium if we do move there

Ill be disappointed if we don't fill the place.Make it like an home match

.Is that pub still open opposite ?.

Yes, I'm going to give it a coat of looking at

It would be rude not to.

The two closest pubs are; Royal Oak on Owl Lane, and Huntsman Inn on Chidswell Lane. I've not been in either for a couple of years, but they both used to be a decent place for a pint and are only a couple of minutes walk from the ground. I'd guess that Dewsbury will also be opening up their own bars to fans of both clubs
