I think the format of the cup is close to being how it should be giving lower league and community clubs the chance to play against the elite clubs in this country just like the FA cup in football, I do think there needs to be some middle ground met regarding using community clubs grounds as we’ve seen a lot of fixtures reversed I don’t know why the RFL couldn’t have allowed West Warriors to used London Broncos home ground for example as it would have still be a home tie for them plus you have more of a chance of locals going to watch the game instead of bringing the game to Headingley, if they allowed west warriors another stadium to use as close to their location as possible and let them take 70% of funds generated on the match day that’s what would bring magic back to the challenge cup. Anyway I’ll be in attendance tomorrow would be disappointed if we didn’t get into the hundreds especially with the team Arthur has selected. Hopefully it’s a good game and a great experience for West Warriors. I reckon Arthur goes with 1.Connor 2.Lumb. 3.Newman 4.Handley 5.Hall 6.Sinfield 7.Frawley 8.Holroyd 9.Ackers 10. Palasia 11. Gannon 12. McDonnell 13. Nicholson-Watton 14. Edgell 15.Lisone 16. J.Smith 17. Jenkins

Is Bentley injured? I presume there's not a ban carrying over from last season.

Probably on grounds of cost.

...and because playing at headingley against Leeds is a once in a lifetime opportunity for their players.

[quote="Clearwing":lhlqm9ws]The RFL didn't stop them hosting at another ground, They opted not to. Probably on grounds of cost.[/quote:lhlqm9ws] My point was that the RFL should have help with that because no amateur club could afford to rent out a professional stadium. Which is probably why they opted for it switched to Headingley to experience a decent crowd playing Leeds at Home, just a shame it’s at the same time as Leeds United FA cup clash because Headingley will be even quieter than it was already gonna be be amazed if we get much more than 5k still an experience for West Warriors though I suppose
