Only ten SL teams left in the comp, Toronto definitely out, and they beat Giants last round. I think some Giants fans will be a little unhappy, they were playing well before lockdown.

It’s usual poor form from RFL. Should have continued as normal any club that played a lower league got a bye and would have put Thunder in the draw as a bye for a club in the next round. This is the nearest you get to a natural selection process. Redrawing teams when teams have already been drawn is stupid. Even possibly only redrawing teams that had teams pull out may have been better.

What a mess

It is what it is. Fingers crossed for a favourable outcome for The Mighty Trin.

They have no reason to be unhappy about the re-draw.
Their only upset was getting done by Toronto, which was purely down to themselves.

You cant lose and then come back in, things are messed up enough already.

I think we'll still be in the double headers at neutral grounds scenario.

It's a fair gamble that our next cup game will be a tougher draw than Fev at home (no disrespect meant to Fev).

Typical RFL, Stupid as ever with a massive lack of Due common sense, the original draw was the draw.
Usually, the rule is, any club not fulfilling a fixture in the cup then the opposing side gets a bye ! With all other fixtures to run to an outcome.
Then no one knows your next opponent in the next draw !
SIMPLE - how bad are we as a sport ?
