Newcastle lost 88-12 today vs Sheffield..
It’s going to be interesting next week… fair play to Newcastle players though.

So better to beat Cas in the early rounds but then bow out gracefully to Warrington in the quarters.'"
I would love to see us in the Challenge Cup Final at Wembley but, with the new IMG grading points, it's a no brainer to throw everything at the 1895 cup, which is a bit sad really (this applies to all lower league clubs. The "rules" effectively mean that the Challenge Cup is never going to be won by a side from the lower leagues. |

To the best of my knowledge it has never been won by a team from the lower leagues.
But the 1895 allows a team from the lower leagues to play at Wembley. |

Possibly so, but if they do or not has nothing to do with the 1895 Cup. |

That's unbelievable.
It would be great to become the first club in history to win the Challenge Cup from The Championship but, sadly, it's not worth the gamble.
However highly the odds are stacked against the lower leagues, it's a pity that there isnt provision for any club that could make it to both finals, even if winning the Challenge Cup from the Championship is "impossible".
It doesn't help these days when the SL clubs are "protected" by coming into the cup so late.
Surely this takes away the "romance" of the comp ? |

The final 4 lower league clubs will join the 12 super league clubs shortly. With an exceptionally fortunate draw that could see 2 lower league clubs advance to the last 8 then another similar piece of luck put 1 in the last 4. Last thing we want is missing out on 1895 final by joining Saints, Wigan and Catalans in the CC Semis.  |

Sadly, The Challenge Cup is the "impossible" dream from The Championship, mind you, we've not done too well from the top flight either.
Nowadays, with the SL clubs entering the cup so late, the odds are just too much against any of the lower league clubs.
We'll have to keep hold of a Challenge Cup Final appearance / win till next season  |

I know there’s a grading issue attached to the games.. but, as a fan… I would much rather a Challenge Cup semi final than an 1895 cup final. |

Not just a grading which is crucial on it's own. Also a chance to see our team probably win at Wembley versus a probable loss at Doncaster, Huddersfield or some other neutral local stadium. Memories of semis v Hull and Warrington.
There really is no comparison imho |

Yes.
I barely dare to dream about standing in Wembley after a cup win, singing the songs and enjoying what can often be once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I'll take the 1895 thanks. |
