I'm guessing we'll be watching the 2 all SL ties on the BBC, but nothing really stands out as a big game.

Next round is the Quarter Finals Yeah?? Means either Gateshead or Oldham are gonna be there. I'm hoping Wakey have a good run this year. The club deserve some fortune.

I don't think that's a bad draw. Wakey v Wigan should be interesting, Batley might fancy their chances a little bit and one of Gateshead and Oldham get a quarter final. Plus Fax will be fairly happy with a decent pay day I would have thought.

TV games, hopefully won't be Catalans v Saints as both were televised in the last round. I'd opt for Wakey v Wigan and Batley v Salford. We never seem to get lower league sides on the telly.

If Fax had have been at home I would have liked them to show their game against Cas, but I can't see it now. The BBC will do what they always do, pick the games against the bigger sides. It's the same in the FA Cup, quite often we end up with unappealing all Premier League ties.

I think if Catalans have a good day, with players like Greenshields, Bird, Bosc and Ryles you never know. Unlikey though.

I suspect you're right. I'll be a bit disappointed though. Truthfully I think Batley have as much chance against Salford as the Dragons do against Stains. It would make a nice change for the RL viewing public too.
