Quote: Harold Rigby Jnr "Surely I am now witnessing this via the BBC Red button at HT live from an all but deserted Wembley.

This is not a good advert for Championship RL, or indeed a good look for Rugby League at all.

The game kicked of 25 min late as the Challenge Cup commentary team continued to digest all the talking points and interviews from the Warrington / St.Helens Cup Final. No mention of The 1895 match other than a passing token that it would follow The Challenge Cup Final analysis.

When it did kick off it looked like the BBC were filming an amateur match without a single replay of any try or action. Half Time was 25 mins of complete SILENCE.

If it was to be played prior to the Challenge Cup Final then there could be some merit to retain it at Wembley. If not bin it or move it elsewhere.

I would not be surprised if some clubs refuse to enter it next year, especially the likes of Leeds and Hull KR IF they were to be relegated. Halifax have already hit out against it.

Luckily the score is close, but It is not selling or enhancing the sport of RL one bit in it's current guise. I would say it is taking the game backwards a level

Ineptitude from the RFL, whoever would believe it!!!

Quote: GUBRATS "Pathetic insult'"


Not really, there were many sponsors of that competition, my comment was more a criticism of the RFL, what was the point of the competition (apart from winning) the final and the media portrayal was an embarrassment.

Many sponsors of what event ?

Your post was aimed at the person ' daft ' enough to sponsor the competition , nobody has suggested the 1895 Cup is the finished article , it was a ' knee jerk ' attempt to increase falling Challenge Cup attendances , we will see if it remains in its current time slot or they look at how they schedule next year's event

Anybody who puts their hard earned into RL gets my utmost respect and doesn't deserve insults on here
