Quote: jdrocket "We're going to have to face the fact that the Challenge Cup isn't a relevent trophy anymore, as it is all a part of the evolution of the game. We should ask why don't we have the Regal trophy or the county cups and the answer is because people stopped caring about them
The Challenge cup isn't an open competition between any team in the country anymore. For example, Saints and Wigan won so many in a row during their pomps because of the 'easy' structure of the competition and the finals of recent years refelcts this. Ultimately, There is no gain in only winning 4 or 5 games (many against lower opposition)
I say we all boycott the cup until they replace it with a new league and playoff system, or better yet, force them to scrap it completely and focus soley on the Super League competition. They could even add more pseudo-interntational matches to the calender.'"
JD. I am really starting to worry about you. Your posts are getting more and more ridiculous by the day. I strongly suspect that you are slowly but surely getting to the point where the men in white coats will be knocking on your door and taking you away in their little yellow van, with you wearing a very long sleeved coat.
PS. As you will not be going to Wembley should we be unfortunate enough to get to the final of this pointless and irrelevant tournament, can I have your season ticket voucher please?
