OUTSIDERS: Andy Ellis will be hoping Raiders can spring a surprise on Wakefield in the Challenge Cup at Craven Park on Sunday. Ladbrokes have Leeds 5/2 to win the trophy, St Helens 7/2, Wigan 5/1, Bradford 6/1, Hull 10/1 and Wakefield and Warrington both 14/1. Raiders are 500/1 while Chas Kendall have the Barrow team 1,000/1 to repeat 1955 and all that. Unfortunately, nowadays it might as well be a million to one.
