Quote: reffy "I suppose you could say that the entry of French clubs into the tournament is as pointless as the likes of Leigh entering the Challenge Cup.'"
Not quite the same imo.
When a decent Championship side gets to the quarter finals they do have a chance of making some money and the possibility of a shock win' however unprobable a win would be.
The clear flaw in the Anglo French comp is that each club plays one game so all four games are essentially friendlies and cost more to stage' meaning some ruling body has to pay for the cost of the games.
