Challenge Cup 5th Round : Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:21 pm  

Seeing as no-one else has posted it...

Warrington v Bradford
Catalan v Sheffield Eagles
Salford v Leeds
Leigh v Halifax
Oldham v Saints
Featherstone v Wigan
Huddersfield v Swinton
Batley v London Broncos

Could be a few more cricket scores in there.

Warrington v Bradford and Fev v Wigan for TV?

Depends on the days each game are played....thoroughly enjoyed watching Fev v Cas on the wonky pitch...but think an overall more enticing line up for TV would be Wire v Bulls and Salford v Leeds.

No disrespect to Fev.....but Wigan will own them....50 points atleast.

Cas didn't own them. Fev are a very decent attacking team and if they can have the same spirit on their own line as they did against cas then I think it could only be won in the last 10-15mins.

There's the chance of a blow-out, but it could also be the great underdog story. Depends if TV are willing to take the gamble.

I do think Wigan will win at a stroll, but then we probably thought that at Widnes earlier this year!

Not very exciting in my opinion. Hopefully the next round will bring up some mouthwatering ties as the best 6 teams in SL are likely to be left in the draw.

Wire, Wigan, Leeds, Catalan, Hudds, Saints, London and Halifax to go through.

Hard lines Fev - given their heroic performance against Cas, it would have been nice to see them get a slightly less impossible assignment in the next round.

Upset of the round - Batley will turn London over; you heard it here first.

Really?

Fev away to Wigan after a display like that against Cas.
Leigh v Halifax should be a decent game between two fairly even sides.
Warrington v Bulls should be a test of the Bulls new found form.

Just how exciting do you want it?

If people want another Fev v Cas type of game wouldn't you want to put Batley v London on tv? Batley have looked good on tv when I have seem them this year and on that famous hill? I know bbc or sky wont go for it though
