Ladbrokes Challenge Cup 2018 Sixth Round Draw : Wed Apr 25, 2018 7:33 am  

Ladbrokes Challenge Cup 2018 Sixth Round Draw The draw for the sixth round of the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup was made live this morning on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2, as the remaining eight Super League Clubs joined the eight survivors from last weekends ties. All four of the top flight sides who entered the competition at round five made it through unscathed, although the Catalans Dragons had a bit of a fright at Championship One side York City Knights before emerging as 34-22 victors.   Whitehaven, the only survivors from the third tier, who had a fantastic 38-0 victory over Championship side the Rochdale Hornets, will have been eagerly anticipating a tie against one of the big sides and a nice pay day.

Tbf to you, it's been a while since we beat a strong SL team in good form in a competitive fixture. We beat a previously unbeaten St. Helens, who finished the season 2nd, in late March 2015. Following that and our most recent derby win, we then beat Hudds on Easter Monday 2015 - they finished 4th that year.

So, just over three years ago. Obviously, we were never going to have many chances in 2017 though!

Edit: we beat Wigan themselves in the Cup in May 2015, of course. So still less than 3 years!

I'd rather have your draw

Being completely optimistic. We beat Wigan away in this Rd when we went to Wembley, and then went unbeaten in the middle 8's that year.
So I'm looking for the same again.

In seriousness, we're at home, which is all you can really ask at this Rd. And it's a free shot. If we lose its expected, if we win could build some confidence in the team.

Sure I remember us beating wire in the semi that year.
