Would have preferred a home draw but certainly can’t complain with that. Great chance for the boys to reach the semi final again

A great draw for me. Takes me 15 to 20 mins to Cas. A great walk "down the lane" as they refer to Wheldon Road. I stand around the 40 metre line nearer to the Wigan end and always get some good banter with Cas fans. I'll take my just turned 11 year old granddaughter for her first visit to Cas, and first match standing (will have to be near the front) and she'll love it. Hope it's an afternoon kick-off.

Famous last words, but I think there are at least 5 tougher opponents out of the 7 in the draw. But, of course, in the Cup, there is no room for an off day.

On Saturday 13 cup holders Leigh Leopards visit Sewell Group Craven Park to take on Hull KR in a repeat of last year’s memorable Wembley final, won by the Leopards in dramatic style through Lachlan Lam’s drop goal in golden point extra-time. Kick off in east Hull is 5pm.

24 hours later there’s a repeat of the 2019 final when St Helens take on Super League leaders Warrington Wolves. The Wolves won convincingly at Wembley Stadium that day, 18-4, with Daryl Clark rubbing salt into the Saints’ wounds with a late try. Clark, of course, is now with St Helens and his first game against his old club promises to be one of the biggest of the season. Kick off at the Totally Wicked Stadium is 4.30pm.

Apparently the draw is a fix because Wigan slipped the RFL a bung or whatever according to Cas fans on Facebook
