Broncos at the Hive. See if we can match the number of home fans and might be the only opportunity to visit another ground.

Following that, I'd go with Catalans away. Never been, but thinking on the same lines as HJ.

Broncos away would have been a disastrous draw, no gate Revenue, although we would beat them, but no point, Widnes at home will give us much needed revenue and hopefully a win which gives us a payday.

My suggestion of Catalans away was as I say selfish, a few of us would like that opportunity, but again not good for the club coffers. Whilst Catalans seem to have good crowds the Challenge Cup at this stage is usually poorly attended and I'm not sure we would have been that big a draw for Monsieur et Madam Pomme-Frites.

I think it's a poor draw for us, probably 2,500 att maximum, I can't see us beating them either so not so much prize-monies going into the club coffers.

Colin, old chum, He who dares wins.
To believe is to achieve,
I honestly believe we can beat Widnes, give us a firm pitch, we have excellent forwards, a good halfback pairing, strong backs and as yet not sure which of our two excellent fullbacks but either one is good enough.

Perhaps you are right about the draw, Leeds at home would have been financially beneficial, but we would have no chance, same for probably all but the bottom four of Super League, Bull might have given us a bigger crowd and a chance of a win but it was not to be, for me this one we can win and hope for a bigger game at home in the next round.

But hey what I know.

Fancy Faxfit one night? Pick you up? Go on give It a try.
As I said "he who dares wins"

Looking forward to this one. Potential banana skin for us but I suspect we will want a cup run this season. Good to be back at Fax. Had great battles on the field and banter with you lot (except Littlerich)!
