Quote: G1 "The Challenge Cup is a showpiece event broadcast nationally and with a 70k plus attendance.

Anyone who doesn't want that for their club or doesn't think the game needs it is an idiot.

Mind you, I'd still take a Grand Final win over it...

Hurray for Sense.

For anyone to say the Challenge Cup isn't important and that it doesn't matter is stupid. I agree if i had to choose to win either the GF or the CC I would choose the GF but that doesn't mean the cup is of no worth. The CC is steeped in history, is classed as a a showpiece event and pretty much the only chance a RL player gets to play at our National Stadium. Im gutted Leeds are out of the CC and in my opinion so should all fellow Leeds fans be. We we're outplayed by a better team and thats that. I hope that come October we can put that right and be as successful as we have been in 07, 08.

On a seperate note and a negative towards the BBC, what is their coverage of the CC about??? It was for me appauling. Flicking between camera's in game, stupid camera angles, Jonathan Davies wittering on and on and on................ The games on Sunday we're cracking games to watch and to try and bring new spectators into our sport and whilst its commendable that the BBC are taking our game a possible new audience, for me they spoil the fact with below par coverage.

Correct. It was 1905 before it was won by a current SL club.

1897 - Batley
1898 - Batley
1899 - Oldham
1900 - Swinton
1901 - Batley
1902 - Broughton R
1903 - Halifax
1904 - Halifax
1905 -Warrington

I don't think the CC needs scraping but I do think it needs a revamp. It seems very outdated the way it is at the minute.

It's the premier cup competition in the RL world. It is what it is. Rugby balls in the hat drawn at random over several rounds and then the last five rounds when the big boys join in.

This year's comp is going to be a procession now but that's down to the luck of the draw and occasionally s[ihi[/it happens..

Football has the Premier league, FA cup , Champions League, League cup, and Uefa cup, and seems to manage, but RL should just have have one comp? great idea. no exposure on terrestial TV then, and less interest for a lot of clubs.

I would love a day out at the 'new' wembley following my team in the sunshine, but will probably have to wait till its knock it down again and version 3 at this rate icon_sad.gif

Wemberlee, Wemberlee, We're the famous Carlisle United and we won at Wemberlee:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_13199.jpg



Anyone who says they aren't interested in the cup is blatently lying, winning the cup was something I dreamed of when I was a kid, and I'm sure it's the same for every player in the game.

Yes I'm gutted we lost the game, but in the long run it will benefit us more to have the weeks off, and a chance to make some real history come October, and I couldn't really see us doing both realistically.

Quote: tvoc "Yes absolutely because the Challenge Cup and Rugby League itself didn't exist before the 70's.

Indeed. Must have been dreaming that I was in London watching Leeds beat Warrington in 1936. And also there again in 1937 and 1938. I have been going almost every year since and even at my advanced age I shall be there again this year.

In fact I consider the Super League the Mickey Mouse Competition which is played at the wrong time of the year to be a true Rugby League Competition.

Nostagic Les.

A revamp, what would that include?
