Saves me the hassle of traipsing to south london, but it would be good to see the club make an effort to fill a bus north for this game.....

They’ll open up the Gold Lounge live stream the game £30 a pop with one course meal. Job done!

Don’t laugh- you know that’s what’s going to happen!

I think the squad needs to be deeper. Carry on with draws like this and there is a danger of being in two Wembley Cup Finals on the same day!

I’m sure Skolars would be prepared to loan us a few as per last year and, of course, by then I’m sure these much delayed new recruits will have arrived.

I can see a CC re-run of July 2013 (the semi's) We'll (if we??) beat York, we'll possibly face Wigan in the last 8 and lose 0-70 (if not by more) at home. DH will have yet another meltdown, then another budget cut & probable stadium move to contend with as we'll be ousted by London Irish. Hope I'm wrong.

Leigh have a decent shot at reaching the QFs for the first time in a while but are unlikely to get to the final (this time). The same can be said of Broncos but the first stage of the long game has been achieved - you are in the SF of the 1895 Cup; one win from Wembley. That would be another London ground to play at (yes, you've been before) but Bongser is sure that there'll be less grousing on here about travel to the venue!

Think that there should be more excitement on here about the SF. As Bongser's soft spot for The Bulls is irrelevant, you have his unqualified support for the 1895 Cup (sponsored by Derek Beaumont ).

I’m unsighted on how the draw for the 1895 works. Whether as lowest ranked we’ll play the strongest - Halifax or whether its random. Either way if the team wants it we definitely have a chance and I already have tickets for Wembley so I’m in. I can confirm that the seating at Wembley is a step up from Rosslyn Park and I believe they have dispensed with the asbestos roof so that will make a nice change. Sadly if the match is played at the end of a long day of matches we may well be moaning about patchy attendance again. I recall the Eagles v Widnes one. Quite a few from Widnes- say 2,000 and about 50 from Sheffield knocking around a 90,000 stadium was not a good look. My hope is London would bring a few more than that but ...who knows.
