That's a lot of $uperleague pairs.

Statistically, you'd expect two or three.

Glad we didn't get a Fev or a Fax good chance of progression then hopefully we'll get one of the big guns down at Owlerton

Excellent draw. Great chance to progress and at least four other Championship/C1 clubs will be in the last 16.

ESO,

I make it 7 all C/C1 ties with outside chances for:
Batley v C*s
Halifax v Widnes Vikings

There could be more C/C1 in the last 16 that SL teams (though I doubt it).

You're right - worst case scenario is 9 SL and 7 champs! Brilliant, and highly likely the QF's will see a couple of Championship teams.

Just out of interest what is the prize money for reaching the quarters?

Statistically, the most likely outcome is one all-Champs tie in Round 5.
