What relevance is that with regard to the topic of the cup draw?
Quote Big Jim Slade="Big Jim Slade"I'm sure you were equally up in arms about the incredibly tough run Leeds had in 2010: Hull - Blackpool - Wigan - Saints. 3 of the top 5 in SL. That's got to be a fix right?'"
Tough, tough draw for the rhinos that year wasn't it? Hull... my god! How tough are they to beat? Blackpool... ouch! Wigan... can't get much tougher than that. In fact Leeds are so unlucky with cup draws they've drawn Wigan no less than 3 times in recent years... all at home of course, in 2007, 2008 and 2010. Fancy drawing Saints in the SF... how unlucky is that? If only there'd been a championship club or a whipping boy SL rabble club still left in the competition at that stage. There wasn't BTW.
Just to reiterate as I made a slight error earlier, here's the rhinos exceedingly unlucky cup draw record in recent years...
Drawn at home 15 times out of the last 21... London/Quins 3 times, Wigan 3 times, Crusaders 2 times, Saints, Warrington, Workington, Rochdale, Blackpool, Pia and Wakefield all once.
Drawn away 6 times out of last 21... Hull 2 times, Leigh 2 times, London/Quins and Salford once.
Very unlucky draws in semi finals too during the same period... Toulouse, Huddersfield and Cas once each, but Saints twice!!! That's just not fair.
Yep... rhinos are the unluckiest club in SL with regard to cup draws and it's about time they got some draws which favoured them.
