To win the competition you have to beat them or others, so might as well do it now, bring it on! who would you sooner have had some championship side who wont genarate revenue?

Its fc all the way this year .. BEL13VE

You forgot the lol or the smiley

burns will be back, saints with even more injuries than they have now. Easy win. Neither hull club will get to the final though

It could have been worse. . .a daunting trip to their gaff!



I have a funny feeling that this could be Rovers year; the perfect leaving pressie for Neil & Rob!

If Rovers got to Wembley do people seriously think Neil and Rob would walk away. They've said that with added investment they may even stay on in their current roles. Nothing like some free investment from a good cup run and solid attendance at Wembley

Since our super league era, they have been a bit of a nemisis for us in the challenge cup.



Knocked us out 3 times.... lets hope its not 4.

On the other hand the perfect time to leave? Can't get a much better send off than winning at Wembley

Confirmed now by the RFL as Saturday.

Twice in our SL era (2008 at CP & 2011 at Widnes). The 3rd time you refer to we were still in NL1 (2006).

Indeed. 2.30pm Kick Off, live on BBC. Rovers need to be very creative with ticket prices for this or face a poor attendance if they don't get it right. They need to go with adult prices at a tenner. A full-ish East Stand will look better for tv, and also any perspective buyer.

I'd like to think we'll have some luck with decisions this time @ CP - unlike 2008. Bloody Klein (or lack of tv replays) cost us that day. Ruined our season too. Mind you, Thaler/touch judge cost them in the league that year n all so swings and roundabouts.



Tough draw but we're at home, so a decent chance to progress. It's the only cup we can realistically win, so hopefully we treat it as such.
