From a persepctive of a super league team these easy challenge cup fixtures are a nuisance. However, try telling Wrokington players that these games are a waste of time. Even after a thrashing like they received they still all enjoyed the experience. Workington players were having thier photographs taken in front of the S/S after the a game. I believe we should remain with the CC as it is to allow these lesser teams to enjoy their "wembley"

Keep smiling. It makes people wonder what you're up to.
Borrow money from pessimists. They don't expect it back.
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film!
The sooner you fall behind the more time you'll have to catch up.
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.:14276.jpg |

So Les Cats winning is because of the cup? They beat Salford 3 weeks before the game against Saints and ran the Saints team close over the easter weekend earlier in the season having played and having to travel to France just like St Helens so just because they won (oh the shock of them winning!!) that is another reason to scrap the cup? |

Facts my good fellow mere facts
Saying that, Wigans domination of the cup way back when wasn't any good for the game either, if the RFL further developed NL teams and helped them all go full time and got the standard up to a low level SL team - Hudds for example - then the cup would be a more competitive altho not likely to throw up many sides from NL1 2 and beyond winning it, it sure would improve it
Develop the teams to improve the cup don't just rid RL of what is the most Historic cup in the sport

and against NL 1 opposition are not allowed to score in the 10 meter area from the touchline in(on each side of the pitch) thus reducing the width of the tryline by 20meters in total conversions are allowed'"
Make the SL team wear those bicycle cranks a la 'Its A Knockout' |
