Good day all round, good run out for us,Wakie get bummed and couple if their fans complaining about Sammuts defence,Hudds lose in last minute,although Broughs drop goal went over,plus Mullaley will be available for next round now Hudds are out. Just to make things better Saints were last team in my accumalator to win as well.

God it's good been a Bulls fan at the moment

Do the gate still get split 50/50 between the teams?

No. There's a formula for how gate is split in challenge cup rules. From memory it's something like 25% to home team for costs of putting game on. 25% to each of participating teams and remaining 25% to RFL. Might be wrong on exact percentages but its along those lines. Would explain the suspiciously low attendance announced.

Oldham fans were great today , sang most of the game and were in good spirits when walking out at the end

You should have us (Salford away) as Schofield called the wrong number out, it was infact 6 not 9.

Re: Challenge Cup 5th Round : Sun Apr 06, 2014 4:27 pm  

Yeah, just read that. Only in RFL could we have a draw done by two people who can't read the numbers.
Shocking.
They may have a redraw?

Though to be honest we are happier with the draw we have.

Re: Challenge Cup 5th Round : Sun Apr 06, 2014 5:56 pm  

Well we have to be away to widnes then?
And sell a player to Wakefield as it was obviously our fault

You can clearly see it on the TV pics on martyn Sadlers twitter page.

Hahaha but the only pictures I've seen look inconclusive. Maybe they should go to the video referee

Giants lose in controversial fashion, can't wait to get home, hope wife sky plussed it!!

Re: Challenge Cup 5th Round : Sun Apr 06, 2014 6:34 pm  

I think they gave us the easier draw because we are the RFL's favourites.

@TheRFL: Disappointing so many people are keen believe two members of the RL Hall of Fame are complicit in lies, cover-ups and conspiracies #sad
