I’d be more cautious of Salford, should we beat Catalans.
As there’s only three sets of fans for round 6, is it possible fans may be allowed to attend the game.

I'm ok with the redraw. Made it even for everyone.
Can't say we fared well in the draw but to be honest everyone needs game time so an extra game might not be a bad thing.

I really don't think that is a bad draw. Catalans have to travel across from France then we get Salford at home. Avoided Saints, Wire, Cas, Hull and Leeds until potential semi.

if we went on to win the cup then at least we've done it the proper way in beating teams, having saying that it would of been nice to get a bye

I see his point.
We've come out of this worse off than where we were.
The original draw, which had us playing Fev, would have seen us into the QF without playing another game.
Now, we have the delights of Catalan to get to where we were.

I realise that, to get the draw back in balance, things were far from straightforward but, we've got second best here and with fixtures getting ever closer together, it's not great.

The silver lining is that at least were going to get some games to see and it's been a long time coming.

Come on Trin !

Fev would have been no easy beats especially in a one off cup game. That tie had banana skin written all over it.
Less pressure on us against Catalan.
