If we did play well enough and beat Saints I think an away trip to Hull, Wire or Wigan would be just as tricky.

These would definitely be the teams I would hope not to draw, especially away from home, but if it comes to it I know we have the quality to beat them

The interesting thing is that whoever loses will go out with virtually zero revenue from the Challenge Cup this season, and that can have a serious effect on the clubs spending power.

More of a worry for Saints than us. Owning our own ground and the revenue that associated income streams brings us makes us very healthy.

Also, clubs that get to compete in the WCC pocket a very tidy sum.

I think that getting to the challenge cup final is very lucrative though. The gates are split after the RFL has taken its share. For saints, its got to be the equivalent of 4 or 5 home games for them, plus moeny made through coaches, merchandise, clinger on fans etc.

Bonehead still not been back

Oh it will be nice, no doubt.

But shouldn't be budget for.

I have it on very good authority that the WCC is the biggest money spinner of the season for us as we get a much bigger take of receipts than any other competition. Also, our expenses for playing the game are minimal and no revenue is taken by other clubs.
