Re: Cup draw
I will be well & truly annoyed if it's at Leigh again this year
There shouldn't be any need to fully reseed the pitch at the DW after it had turf laid earlier in the season.
That should last a bit longer if they got the drainage sorted!
Anyway I'm sure the groundsman told me they were considering putting implants in & around the pitch of artificial grass!!
Even so, I'm sure one game, after four weeks of the pitch being mollycoddled, wouldn't do much damage, there will be another two weeks to recover ????????

Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

I thought the pitch was being dug up so that the drainage could be sorted out.

Re: Cup draw
Looking at the other draws I don't see how we could have got a better one.
You need a bit of luck sometimes and with the injuries we have had we are overdue some.
Dewsbury first and now Cas, both good draws, whereas Leeds and Saints are already out not having been so fortunate and I don't fancy playing the other SL teams in the next round.

I agree DaveO, I think its a friendly draw, however still a tough game.DaveO wrote:Looking at the other draws I don't see how we could have got a better one.

Re: Cup draw
It was in 2014 but at the moment Cas are not so hot yet as always in the CC with it being knock-out the best team that turns up on the day will progress. No second chances.TrueBlueWarrior wrote:I agree DaveO, I think its a friendly draw, however still a tough game.DaveO wrote:Looking at the other draws I don't see how we could have got a better one.

Probably why people like it so much!
I suppose you might argue Widnes could be an easier draw but I am not so sure given the way the ex-Wiganers raise their game v us.
