We were due an easy draw after all the tough games in last year's comp and Leeds away at the start of this.

Speaking as a Thunder fan, I hope that you're all going to come up in huge numbers for what will turn out to be a great Bank Holiday weekend. Some of you may care to 'stay over' - whatever the budget, there's something to suit.

I'm sure that our corporate facilities at The Newcastle/Gateshead Hilton Hotel are second to none - watch out for deals there (this normally includes transport from / back to the hotel)

Pre and post-match, local RL-supporting pubs are The Schooner (very near the stadium - by the river) and The Wheatsheaf, Felling (walking distance)

Decent weather will mean a great atmosphere - whatever the result

Not realy?! you were due a reasonably difficult draw last season after being practically given the challenge cup in 2007 and practically bye'd to the final by the RFL

batley (h) rochdale (h) wire (h) bratford (semi) catalan (final)

What a joke that cup run was! Lets just hope we get you in the semis and get you knocked out before the final this year

At last a good draw for us. I bet we've played more Super League opposition over the past fourteen years than any other side.

The dream all-Lancs semi-finals can't happen now but there's a good chance of one all-Lancs semi (well let's hope so anyway).
