You'd fancy Salford to do Wakefield at home so their 8/1 is appealing.
Unless we meet them in the semis then there doomed.

I'm just glad we didn't draw leeds

I quite enjoyed Cardiff and then Radders giving Bailey a slap the other year even though it lost us the game

happy with the draw. most importantly at this stage we are at home and i would sooner play a top team with a decent crowd and big game atmosphere. hope for once the crowd size justifies the importance of the game. plus its our local derby. having won it last year i'm pretty relaxed about the cup run this time out

Bring it on. Maybe we could rest one player and beat them with 12 again

Surely a couple of drives from the opposition then they're on Cas' line ???

Exactly my thoughts.
Will have our work cut out to beat the worlds best rugby team though



Have a feeling it's the Grand Final for us this year.

It's winnable and it's better to play them at home now instead of later on when it's neutral ground

Fair enough. I said I stand to be corrected. Must be Wigan I'm thinking of

no doubt a pie will be on here soon to tell me how tough they have every year

There was a identical tackle today . Can't remember which half but only difference was attacker never got injured therefore it remained 13 aside and no one copped a 2 game ban.

Not if you score first then they can;t get the ball back

v Cas on Sunday 18th June at 3pm.

NICE

Great news!

Brilliant, arrive back in Hull at 2:55 though, can I make the game.

Worst case scenario find a pub with it on.

We played Castleford on the same day as the Hull 10k last year...hope it's the same result!!!

Expect Salford away now to be moved, currently on the Sunday before and they play Wakey in the cup on the Thursday.

Should help us - we've currently got an 8 day gap before the Salford game to play with.

You have to question the common sense at Sky don't you. Salford v Wakefield & Leeds v Featherstone for the Thu/Fri games. Common sense would dictate that the teams with only 16 miles between them should play the Thursday and the teams with nearly 50 miles the Friday so why do they put them the other way round?!

Ruuuuuuuun!

Not sure Sky would have had much say in this to be honest. BBC got the pick of the games and would have had the say on timings.

Wakey to Salford is only a 50 min journey, an hour tops. Avoiding Friday traffic is probably not a bad thing.

As for our game, from a personal point of view I'd have preferred Saturday as I cannot make the Sunday. C'est La Vie!

From a team point of view, this creates a big imbalance on turnaround for the Wakefield game. Id they play Thursday, We play Sunday and then against each other the following Friday!!!!!!

Think BBC have first choice and Sky pick up the crumbs.

Me I'm chuffed brother over from Vancouver that weekend.

Great time to play for me and we should get a bumper gate to watch a game on the beach.

Oh I know, but surely Sky chose who to have on each night? Just seems daft to me but then again, this is the broadcaster that thought it a giggle to send us to Widnes 3 Thursday nights on the bounce!!
