1895 Cup : Mon Jan 22, 2024 5:02 pm  

Pittsy says we are prioritising the cup and wants to go to Wembley.
It'll be tough like all cup competitions but I fancy us for this.

I have my tickets for Wembley already.

You can't do both. If you make the semis of the challenge cup you drop out of the 1895 cup automatically.

So better to beat Cas in the early rounds but then bow out gracefully to Warrington in the quarters.

If there is one team Powell would not bow out to gracefully ,I suspect it would be Warrington

However what you are suggesting would be a fantastic scenario

I’d have to do the old Tommy Cooper sketch if that happened

I see your point. Let's bow out to Sts then after beating Cas and Warrington at Belle Vue in previous rounds.

Nah, we'd beat them.
Again.

It's to be hoped that points difference doesn't come into it because York have beaten Newcastle 114 - 10
They scored 21 tries !!!

Don't think it will, York or ourselves will win 2 games to 1.

Halifax got beaten at Oldham and Dewsbury got thumped at Keighley, otherwise as expected... https://www.rlfans.com/index.php?generic=8&comp=168
