Quote: Fantastic Mr Catpiss "do we adjust the rules then for the amateur teams or whoever in earlier rounds of it, to even it out for them against eth championship sides?'"


But to be fair you'd get rid of one Aussie player and that would be it, yeah why not.

Two massive games on the beeb. Not top quality SL action, but you could taste the hunger and fear of losing in both matches. Great stuff.

3k crowds at Huddersfield and Salford pretty poor though.

6k at Odsal with a 50/50 split in supporters and 7.5k at Leeds wernt much better. For the corresponding fixtures Bradford got over 15k and Leeds got just short of 15k.

The 2,150 figure for the St Helens game wasn't too hot either.

No one cares about the Challenge Cup.

Quote: Oxford Exile "what was the attendance at Wembley last year for this 'non-even't in the RL calender? 80K+ of people who turned up because they had nothing better to do wasn't it?'"
Yeah,,and the year before that,there was about 65,000+ and the massive gaps in the seating round Wembley made it a bit of a embarresment,,,

Leeds v Warrington may have been announced at 85k but there were no where near that in the ground.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers v New England Patriots - 84,254


Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos - 85,217


Something doesnt look right with those 2 pictures/attendances given.

The Tampa , Patriots match included the players , coaches , cheerleaders , refs , those blokes with the sticks with string on them , and those prospect dishes , plus all the other people they have on the pitch

Considering the second one doesn't seem like it's near to kick off, then perhaps the timing of the said pictures needs to be compared too?

Club Wembley tickets ruin the effect, if those tickets had been available for general sale they'd have sold out

It's also harder to spot the empty seats due to the light.
