The word is that the CC may be droipped from the 'obligatory' list, that's all. There's nothing to stop the BBC still showing it, or the RFL from selling the Beeb the rights.
The cretins who seem to be in charge of 'deliberations' want sacking though, if they genuinely believe that the Challenge Cup Final, like the Derby, do not have "special national resonance", whereas a first round Wimbledon tennis match on Court 73 between a Bulgarian and a Filipino apparently does resonate in the English soul.
How does the CCF not have as much "special national resonance" as Wales or NI playing in World Cup qualifiers, then?
