[quote="REVENUE":1k89st8j]I would envisage most Super League teams wouldn't play many first teamers in this stage of the Challenge cup..[/quote:1k89st8j] In that case, many fans will not travel afar, which makes the whole concept futile.

This shake up has been something that should have happened for a great number of years. And now it's here, people still find something to moan about!

A laudable idea but RL is not soccer. There is zero chance of an upset in any of the games (assuming the Bulls beat Donny, them beating Cas wouldn't be an upset), even with SL teams playing weakened teams. Other than where the game is on their doorstep (and even then, it's debatable) fans won't travel in anything like the numbers needed to give the home teams a decent money spinner. No idea what the answer is but this isn't it, imo.
