Thrown up some interesting ties. Leeds going to have a tough trip to Hull FC. Dewsbury/Bradford should also be quite spicy. Cas V Barrow will also be an interesting one.

Nice straightforward draw for Harlequins, easy enough advance into the next round.

A home game gives us a bit more of a chance.

Are the BBC televising any of the 4th round games?

"Challenge Cup: BBC TV will broadcast coverage of the early rounds and the final from Wembley." Apparently. http://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.bbc.co.uk%2Fsport2%2Fhi%2Frugby_league%2F4854276.stm&rct=j&q=bbc+challenge+cup+coverage+2010&ei=8C2WS6vBHIz-0gT-ltn0Cw&usg=AFQjCNFOrHdWiJG5C-7PqYEODH5f7LL8zg

McDermott must be rubbing his hands with glee, able to avenge the early season loss to Wakey, who look they are going to be struggling badly with injuries and confidence.

See Paul Cooke's coming to Wakey to help shore things up. Interesting move.

Almost seemed inevitable that Cooke would team up with John Kear at some point, given the high regard he has for the player. Whilst Kear is famed for his ability for salvaging careers he will certainly have his work cut out with Cooke, but if anyone can do it JK can.

Went sour quite quickly for Cooke at KR didn't it, being his club and all and after he jumped ship at Hull thought he would be there for rest of his career. Seems like he is hard going to work with. Kear seems like such an enthusiastic bloke though, maybe it will rub off on Cooke.

In all honesty I think Wakefield will probably beat us again.

BBC announced the live games for the 4th round:

Saturday 17th April Hull v Leeds Kick-off 1430

Sunday 18th April Huddersfield v Hull KR 1345

Challenge Cup. 4th round draw. 16th-18th April.
