Challenge cup

[flood light tiger]

We have drawn Salford at hone in the challenge cup

[Lofthouse Tiger]

Get in

[old cas lass]

Can anyone verify if the game will be played down lane.
I’ve seen it’s at a neutral ground. Why.
All teams draw at home in this round gets the benefit of playing at their own ground. Who’s making this rules up.

[SWISS TONY!!]

It's just catalans who are at a neutral ground. Classed as their home tie today

[tykeneil]

The QF are at neutral grounds in the form of two double header
1 group on SKY (Friday) 1 group on BBC (Saturday)
I would guess we would play Friday at Headingley/Warrington along with St Helens game
Others at St Helens on Saturday

Yes I know that tony.
It’s the quarters I’m on about.

I think that’s all wrong.
Why should some teams (this round) have home advantage.
Then next round home teams have to play away.
It’s a farce.

It will be due to a combination of TV demands & Covid restriction that will still apply. More to do with TV though.

That shouldn't mask the drinks, brewery, planning situation at the RFL though. They will probably explain if next week when SKY & BBC have told them what to do.

Can’t bring Covid into it.

If this is how it’s gonna be from now on, which it wouldn’t surprise me.
They can stick the game up there jacksee.

Just off topic slightly but does anyone else think the standard of the challenge cup draw as gone down a bit? TV pundits John Wilkin and Marc Chapman calling and pulling the balls out of the bag. What an embarrassment.

Absolutely.
I thought it was a disgrace.
Laughing and mucking about.
No wonder no one takes the sport seriously.

[tigerfeat]

I turned the sound off half way through the first match Dave Woods was getting on my nerves ( in rugby league it's the half backs that are the playmakers ) coudnt take no more of him

Mate, it was embarrassing when Hull came out and Wilson said “they won the cup in 2017....and that’s about it”

[stevieblunder]

They were having a laugh.

Let's face it the RL CUP is becoming a bit of a laugh.

One man quickly puts the balls in a bag, with his right hand, keeps hold of it and then pulls the numbers out with the same hand.

Mmmmm.
A trainee magician could make sure it went any way they wanted.

Confirmation that all 4 QFs are in neutral turf.

Well it’s either headingley or saints.
They are the only 2 they are using.

[Ken Smith]

If Saints and Leeds are the venues for the quarter finals and as Saints were drawn 7th out of the bag and Cas were drawn 3rd the odd numbers should be classed as the home team. Therefore it would be grossly unfair for Saints v Giants to be played at Saints so it should be played at Warrington. Likewise Cas v Salford should be played at Headingley. I think if Saints and Headingley are to be the chosen venues, then Saints v Giants must be played at Headingley as well as Cas v Salford. But I expect Sky and BBC will have the final say.

[Mucky1978]

What a shambles.

Why have neutral grounds for QF don't get it were playing at home on Friday arnt we think so unless it's been changed
