Quote: paulwalker71 "Like others, I'm interested in the detail. The more I think about it, the harder it seems to think of a way to make it actually work.
If it is going to be a competition for all non-SL clubs, then its going to add quite a lot of fixtures to those clubs who make decent progress in the Challenge Cup.
But if its going to be a 'lucky loser' type thing, then what about those clubs who - simply through the luck of the draw - make progress in the Challenge Cup?
For example, we might draw lower league opposition and get to the Quarter Finals of the Challenge Cup, then get smashed by a SL club. But then surely the other competition would have started and we'd be too late to join in, thus scuppering chances of a potential Wembley trip
Will we get put in a position of 'wanting to lose' a Challenge Cup game so that we can enter the 1895 Cup?'"
The devil's in the detail for sure. Will the RFL get it right? What do we think?
