Quote dede="dede"And could you please explain why was the C.C in May was no good to anyone in rugby league? Myself and numerous people I speak to would not agree.'"
Because it meant that the competition had to start in January for the amateur sides and February / March for the pro sides. Apart from being the worst time of year for trying to get games played due to the weather, it also made the whole competition feel like a pre-season warm up event for league matches. It also meant the league got a very stop-start feel to it. It also meant having to pack in quarter finals and semie finals very quickly with little build up to the final. So lots of reasons, just off the top of my head!
