Yes, because I could go to that game!

As has been rightly commented, the only thing I'm annoyed about is that I can't afford to go. Regardless of the free ticket or not, had it been a game anywhere in the UK, I would have gone.

Reckon I might pop along to watch Sheffield and Dewsbury instead.

Come off it, it's a great draw. We were bound to be away in the rounds, because we're always away in the rounds (and before anyone chimes in yes I do know we did have one home round draw last year, it was the exception that proves the rule).

Away from the maddening crowds, a run-out in the sun, what better way to get a creditable win and repair some of the confidence? Catalans have no chance in this one.


You think? Who did the Whinos draw, and would you swap right now?

You are Mick Gledhill and I claim my £5...

Sorry mate but after calming down a bit still well hacked off with it - cos the difference is that, unlike Leeds, the fans and the club could do with a bit of a lift right now and this did not help. I actually have a sneaking feeling we'll win this one to be honest, and yes that will be a very big lift. But to re-iterate - my issue is NOT with drawing a quality SL side away, its that its the worst possible draw for many of the fans logistically and cost-wise. And I DO get wound up by injustice, I'll freely admit that, and the Bird situation is injustice of the highest order IMO.

No, I'm still wound up.

Do you think the RFL will run free transport to go with the free ticket?

In interview menizes said:“Getting to Wembley and playing in the Challenge Cup final was one of the big attractions about coming here and I might only get one chance of doing it, so I’m going to make the most of it."
If he`s signed a 1 yr deal he will only get one chance, but saying he might only get one chance is he hoping for an entension to deal and get more than one chance.

If he wants a chance of playing at Wembley, he's better signing a deal next year with another club.

I for one am very happy with the draw.

Just booking my tickets now as we speak.

Mick please say we will lose by 30, your predictions are always the opposite.

When was the last time L*eds were drawn away against Super League opposition??

June 1804 by my reckoning.

ALWAYS DRAWN AT HOME
