Sheffield at home while Saints go to Leeds week before Good Friday, it’s almost like we run the league

Great opportunity to get some more game time for Farrimond, Eckersley, Chan, Forber, Douglas, Hampshire and co. It’s a shame it’s not away but you can’t grumble at that draw.

Good on one hand to get an easy draw and we were probably due one - all of our draws in 2022/2023 have been SL teams.

It does seem a bit of a waste of time though. Bilko posted an idea on Twitter suggesting we seed clubs in the last 16 and have the seeded clubs play away to the other 8. Sounds sensible to me.

shame its not away but there you go. I hope they get a decent crowd on but I don't know I can't see it if they pitch the price to high
