CHALLENGE CUP WINNERS 2006,'07 & '08
Giant killers, Dragon slayers & Airlie Birds wing clippers
75-0 thats a record score... 16 yrs of misery, gone in 80 minutes
If God took up rugby league then his name would have been Vollenhoven with AJ Murphy along too:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_7880.jpg |

Did anyone else get the feeling that the ex-pat and the cheshire cat were starting a crusade, (more so than usual) to have the CCF moved once again or scrapped altogether. During yesterdays televised game it was time again "this is not a level playing field, due to the closeness of the CCF". Which, said game, Sly dont have the rights to. Their analysis totally tainted by the GF as the outstanding competition is bordering on the ridiculous.

I think they personally like the cup, but professionally have to belittle it for the sake of the person who pays their wages. Its a shame, but he who pays ....

I agree with them and the Leeds fans. The Challenge Cup is Mickey Mouse.

The real Mickey Mouse event is Murrayfield/Millennium Magic - there would be no point to this if the CC was held at its traditional time in the season. If the CC had been held at that time this year the winners would have been decided by the Leeds-Saints match. Playing a knockout competition across 7 or so months doesn't make any sense to me. This way both competitions are kept distinct and clubs are not penalised in the league for progressing well in the cup. |

| Quote: Trimalchio "I preferred the Challenge Cup when it was played towards the beginning of the season.
IMO Eddie has a point in that it does interfere with the play-offs in its current guise. It is clear at the moment that it is simply not possible for a team to concentrate on SL and the CC at the same time and be successful in both competitions. Hence Leeds and Saints sharing the honours for the past two seasons (Saints had no real credible competition in 2006 ![]()
Very well said
