London or Goole in cup : Tue Jan 14, 2025 6:35 pm  

London By looks of it Cas V Bulls

Or it could be Goole.

Presuming it's London Broncos I think it's a good draw , a tough test to get us ready for Round 1 rather than putting 70 on an amateur club which doesn't help anyone .

I wouldn’t be so sure London will beat Goole. Their squad’s been decimated and they’re scrambling to get a competitive team together but that cup tie could come too early for them. Quite fancy Goole away if that happens!

I agree on both counts.

If my old club, London Chargers, get past Oulton (very possible) and York Acorn (almost no chance) they’ll play Hull FC. But a more likely scenario is Wests Warriors facing Leeds - they have to beat the winner of Army v RAF but I’d back them to do that. Acorn, Wests, Parkside, Siddal and Blackbrook are all in for tough days, but I guess that’s the only downside to bringing the top clubs in. They’ll all make some dosh, host a great day and the players will have memories for life. Think that’s worth it personally. Expect the third round to look like: Goole v Wakefield York Acorn v Hull FC Bradford v Cas Hunslet v Huddersfield Wests Warriors v Leeds Halifax v Catalans Hunslet Parkside v St Helens Siddal v Salford Workington v Leigh Swinton v Warrington York v Hull KR Sheffield v Wigan Oldham v Barrow Batley v Dewsbury North Wales Crusaders v Widnes Featherstone v Blackbrook

I've edited the title as it's misleading

Expect the third round to look like:

Goole v Wakefield
York Acorn v Hull FC
Bradford v Cas
Hunslet v Huddersfield
Wests Warriors v Leeds
Halifax v Catalans
Hunslet Parkside v St Helens
Siddal v Salford
Workington v Leigh
Swinton v Warrington
York v Hull KR
Sheffield v Wigan
Oldham v Barrow
Batley v Dewsbury
North Wales Crusaders v Widnes
Featherstone v Blackbrook

I'm not saying they'll win but York will love their chance to take a big scalp

It’s possible isn’t it if Rovers play a weakened team and underestimate them.

Same goes for Bradford and Cas.
