That'll do nicely. Comfortable draw where we can rest a couple again during a busy period.

Fantastic draw for us personally, but some cracking ties which could see a few biggies knocked out.

Great for us considering England game, Catalan away & Castleford at magic weekend week after

More game time for the young lads

Other than Warrington and Wigan not being pulled out together at the end, that couldn't have been a better draw for Rhinos.

Our run of avoiding away ties against lower league team continues though. Since 2007, we have had just one (the QF away at Leigh in 2012).

Actually would have liked a Sunday afternoon up to Barrow, never been to a game there.

Same reason I wanted Dewsbury.

Interesting they've got Wakey at home with the talk of Wakey possible playing at Dewsbury's ground next season.

Cas having a tough fixture whereas us not the week before Magic can only help us. Although maybe Sean Long's honeymoon period ended with the win over Cas in the league when they followed it up with a loss away to Widnes and Cas may stroll that cup game.

Cas vs Saints will obviously be a TV game. I think Salford vs HKR should be the other regardless of the other all SL ties between Hull/Catalans & Wire/Widnes.

TV Games for me:
Thursday: Warrington v Widnes
Friday: Hull FC v Catalan
Saturday: Salford v Hull KR
Sunday: Castleford v St Helens.

Although I would like Dewsbury v Wakefield to be on, I doubt it will.
