Happy with that, shame none of the 'big boys' got drawn against each other although Leigh v Batley is tasty.
Looks like it will be four of what I exect to be the top 5 at the end of the league season in the semis. That is when we really need a home draw provided we beat Barra.

How do you classify "big boys"? What about Leigh v Batley? I presume you don't classify Batley as "Big Boys". They are unbeaten so far this season and have beaten Fev which we haven't.

Keighly Vs Featherstone is the Premier Sports game. Excellent coverage by them tonight.

Blimey, don't let any of the Batley fans see this! Otherwise we're all in for hours of 'you're all arrogant' posts!

for me it shows that the draw should be seeded instead of open. Batley have gone unbeaten and topped the harder of the 2 groups yet have drawn arguably the hardest draw whereas other teams have lost and scraped results yet get an easier tie

OOps sorry they are one of the big boys now in terms of playing ability so yes I should have taken that into consideration, the Leigh v Batley game is the tie of the round.
I meant a Keighley v Hunslet draw would have left one 'easier' tie potentially in the semi finals. Like the time Donny got through to the final that time.
