Re: CC QF draw : Mon Apr 30, 2012 5:23 pm  

My prediction for the QF draw is:

Leigh v Wigan
Catalans v Huddersfield
Saints v Leeds
London v Warrington

As for the semi final draw being made on a desert island and transmitted on Algerian pirate radio, I've heard that it's being held at the start of The Dark Knight Rises ... Commissioner Gordon will conduct the draw with Batman and Alfred picking the teams.

i bet its
Saints vs Catalans , revenge tie after the last minute try and will clear up a weekend for the HUllfc tie not played earlier on in the year. but Catalans will do it again and stuff up plans lol

other draws will keep big teams apart for big semi finals such as Saints vs Wigan or no that could be a good final , mmmm tickets tickets tickets

sorry for the sarcasim

Bet we draw Wire.

Re: CC QF draw : Mon Apr 30, 2012 8:34 pm  

Ive got a feeling for Leigh away. They need the cash and we are always away from home. Leeds at home to London because they make the rules. Nice home game as usual for Saints vs Catalans and a chance to get revenge. Leaves warrington ve Hudds.

Leigh vs Wigan
Leeds vs London
Saints vs Catalans
Wire vs Hudds

I think they'll pick Leigh v London, to make two blowouts less likely than if they were paired with anyone else.

We'll be away at Leeds, as usual, and nobody really cares about the others.

Not bothered but Cats away would be a problem with finances

Re: CC QF draw : Mon Apr 30, 2012 9:47 pm  

We'll play who we are drawn against and rip in

End of story.
I'm sure that's how Shaun Wane will have he team prepared.

I think somebody earlier in the thread summed it up when they said the side getting the toughest draw will be whoever picks Wigan.

Yes it would be nice to get Leigh or London but in all honesty we're good enough to beat anyone and anywhere so we may as well sit back and relax.

Looking forward to it whoever we get.
