Quote: Gareth1 "This reminds me about the way the apethetic RL fan base moan and complain about the lack of investment in international Rugby League but fail to get off their fat, cloth capped ar5es and actually watch it.

Same thing here. Glory hunting fans who'll turn out in droves for the showpiece final and semi finals stay away from the earlier rounds (which have an important function for trickling down finance to lower clubs) and then come on here and moan about the state of the CC in the earlier rounds.

Here's the thing. If these games were better attended by fans such as Mr Bywater then the lower clubs would make more money from the ties thus enabling them to build their infrastructures. Maybe then the next time they get drawn at Headingley they'll be able to field a better side making for a more competitive match that will attract yet more fans, especially those of a fickle nature.'"


I agree Gareth.

Did you enjoy your first taste of the challenge cup this year?

There were rounds before that you know? Did you know?

Philosophies On Life 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



Quote: Perpetual Motion "Thanks

No further questions.'"


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

Quote: oldlee-quin "how about the SL sides can only score against NL2 opposition upto 10 meters either side of the posts or under them(thus reducing the width of the tryline) and are not allowed to convert a try.

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'
