Is there an actual reason to this or are they just doing it to take the p*ss? Seriously, i could understand if there was like 20+ teams left in the cup and they didnt have time to air it after the Bradford Vs Warrington match but surely it will take less than a minute to take 4 balls out of a bag?

Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

Colin Clarke is but Ford isn't (he did the last round). Arthur Bunting (Hull coach in '85) is doing the draw with Clarke |

| Always thought the gap between the Quarters & Semis was a complete joke, semis should be played in mid July. This would give fans of the finalists plenty of time to make arrangements for a weekend in London at the time of the final. Come on RFL ... get it sorted  |

Its a disgrace how this competition is being treated, its still the greatest competition in the world IMO, and I for one, want to win it more than anything.

I've covered this on a few threads before so won't repeat everything but the reason for the gap is the clash with much larger sporting events during June and July every year. The terrestrial broadcasters are all showing those events so will not have the schedule space for the Challenge Cup. With an August final we will always have that problem as long as the CC is on terrestrial TV.

They aren't all huge things like the soccer World Cup, but are there every day all day on tv. Wimbledon Championships for example is every year last week in June and first week in July and gets wall to wall coverage. That is where the SF would naturally fall (midway between QF and Final). You may be able to fit the SFs in in the middle of July maybe every two years at best but would be mucking about with the schedule each year giving the impression that it is worthless as it gets shunted out of the way for other stuff. The RFL want regular dates for the SFs and Final.
The BBC doesn't have a sports channel and has to show a range of programming, even though as you say a two hour SF broadcast could be fitted in time wise they can't (or won't) get rid of a non sports programme to saturate the channel with sport. |
