Les Cats in a close competitive game which helped to develop our young players. St Helens last season were able to do that because they put in so much effort the rest of the season.

As for scrapping the cup, it seems daft to get rid of it because Super league clubs keep doing well, isn't that why they are in the top flight of RL in Europe(with Les Cats)? The FA cup in football is dominated by Premiership Clubs with the odd lower league clubs getting to the latter stages and no-one is calling for that to be scrapped

As already mentioned, without the cup RL would only be live on Sky and have an hour on a sunday on BBC which would only stop RL from being seen by more people and hinder the development at all levels or could end up killing the sport slowly because of less new fans seeing and becoming interested in the sport. The more fans we attract, which the cup can do better than Sky because not everyone has access to sky but will have BBC is they have a TV, the more money and players coming into the game improving this great game even futher

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?

Now you just look desperate.

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

Make the SL team wear those bicycle cranks a la 'Its A Knockout'

Should do
