The BBC have selected Oldham v Haydock as the game their going to show in the next round. I'm very disappointed with this choice. Personally I'd have picked London Broncos v Toronto or Toulouse v Batley.

I thought that they would have chosen the London v Toronto game too but it was mentioned on a forum (either on here or Total RL) that the RU club at whose ground the Broncos play are at home on the Saturday that it would have to be on a different day (Broncos will be playing on the Friday night) and as the streamed games are all at 1 pm on a Saturday the inability to play on Saturday may have ruled it out for the BBC.

It is also possible that they had the Oldham v Haydock game in mind all along though as they get to show another plucky underdog story, particularly after the effort from Siddal in the previous round, with the added factor of Haydock being the lowest ranked club to ever make it this far. They also get to show two clubs that haven't featured as yet.

I would guess the Toulouse v Batley game was never considered as with a likely audience in the tens of thousands making the trip to Toulouse would not be worth the cost for the BBC.

Terrible choice. London vs Toronto is the game of the round and should have been switched to another small London ground if possible, to make it available on Saturday afternoon.

I'll be honest. I thought they would have gone for either London vs. Toronto or Bradford vs. Featherstone.

Either way, I'm happy Oldham and especially Haydock get some well needed and well deserved coverage! I suppose that's what the streams are all about? Promoting lower league clubs to national media?

East Hull Is Wonderful!:



Aren't Premier Sports showing all of Torontos games this year?

League One (whose TV rights isn't owned by anyone). BBC have the rights to the Challenge Cup

Great choice by the BBC as far as the neutral is concerned I think.

A chance to see a possible Cup upset and two new teams not shown yet this year.

Why the hell should London lose their home advantage just to appease the broadcasters and spectators???

2015 - major missed opportunity, 2016 - stronger teams = harder task (no problem there then), 2017 - OMG What now!!!:953.jpg

....and lets be honest. Alot of us are fed up to the back teeth of hearing about how wonderful Toronto are. Incidentally if you have a look at the defence put forward for Fuis tackle the other week, it just about sums up their colours which will become far more apparent within 18 months or so. Only my prediction but lets see what transpires. Still wondering if a couple of their players will actually be allowed into Canada icon_smile.gif

It's not all about Toronto.

Personally I'm glad the BBC are showing the Oldham v Haydock game.

Yeah, happy with it. I'll probably make the effort to go see both the foreign teams in action at some point so this one's a bonus.

The Oldham connection will give the BBC a chance to wheel out Kevin Sinfield for a bit of pre-match heartlands 'build up'.

Haydock is a team that I have thought about a lot since I was a child. They have made a great impression on the rugby league world over the decades. What a wonderful opportunity now to see them in high definition.

Indeed, only 15 or so miles for him to pop down the road.
