There weren't many easy draws in there and the home tie is bonus. It is winnable but will be very tough for us. Shot to nothing really,you never know.

Cas v Saints
Hudds v Wakey

probably the two BBC games

Would imagine Toronto v Warrington will be on Sky

Feath v FC has some nostalgia to it

Leigh v Salford, local derby (in effect)

Wigan, Cup legends
Leeds, Champions

KR, recently promoted

plenty of reasons why EVERY game should be televised. In fact, replace Magic Weekend with this round in future if we keep the format.

Sure I remember us beating wire in the semi that year.

They were 6th after 23 rounds (W12, L11) and 30 rounds (W15, L15) in 2015, so I thought it might be a bit of a stretch to include them.

Someone else advocated that a while back. Great idea that would create interest. Magic Weekend has run it's course and we don't need an game not to mention another derby.

Not a cat in hells chance of them televising Hudds/Wakey in front of 22,000 empty plastic seats.

Besides, the BBC will broadcast Sat n Sun, Huddersfield Town are at home to Arsenal on Sun 13th, so the Giants game will be Fri night with or without tv interference.

You're not going to win the cup or get to wembley so surely a dignified exit against a decent team is the best way out? Gives you 3 free weekends during the season to rest some players and maybe get one over on teams coming off the back of cup games.

Winning the cup in the last 2 years was amazing but the cup runs likely cost us 2 grand final spots and maybe even a couple of wins

Re: Ladbrokes Challenge Cup 2018 Sixth Round Draw : Wed Apr 25, 2018 10:48 pm  

Did it knackers, big yourselves up all you like but you were no way the best team in the league over the last two years for any time other than than for a few weeks at a time.
We're generally rubbish, but Hull have never displayed the mental fortitude to win a play off season.

pity about the water on the brain jake , it shrank it too much, get on at 6/1 if your confident , and hope you don't draw one of the top clubs before Wembley.if you can avoid one of your wingers tweaking a hamstring and causing an injury crisis you may have a squeek

I agree with your general sentiments but Cas were far and away the best team in the league last term and that didn't help them much when it came to winning at Old Trafford. In fact the Grand Final winners lost 66-10 at Cas early in 2017 so you don't even need to be nearly the best team in the league it seems.

last 2 years weve beaten the best teams to win the cup, not saying we are the best team but if am honest who cares when your lifting the CC, I havnt got tired yet of lifting the CC and would love to win it again, for the younger ones the grand final is the one to win, But for me Wembley doesn't half feel good,
