Quote: Dave K. "This is what you said, we can't suggest any teams or selections as we don't see them training.

That's what the forum is, I see your point about repeating the same thing, but does that mean everything time Smith names a 21 man squad, we can't mention that Balmforths isn't in it?

Not really sure what the big deal is.'"

At the risk of repeating myself, there are obviously reasons he isn’t being selected. We are not entitled to be informed of those reasons.
I tend to be a reader and not a poster on here, and it gets boring reading the same whinges over and over.
I guess that’s life.

Quote: UllFC "1,600. Only two games got over 5k and even they were well down (7k at Leeds instead of the usual 15k for example)

Ths Cup cant carry on with this format, all the games will have lost money this weekend. SL teams need to go in a round earlier again with the lowest ranked team at home for some different scenery at least. Also we might win a game against a League1 team
IMG wanted to make changes to it, but there seemed to be objections to it...and here we are

Doesn't surprise me. Part of the problem with the sport is that nobody ever seems to be singing from the same hymn sheet. And on the occasions when they are, it lasts a season or two at best.

Yeh Completely agree even by challenge cup standards those attendances are abysmal and only two/ three games on TV so they can't blame that. We bring in a multi million pound organisation who are top of the tree internationally for sports promotion and development and then over rule them when they indicate the way they think the game should go!! Same scenario with size of Super League and getting rid of loop fixtures. I think for a lot of uninitiated folk the game is getting boring.

Although, wasn't one of IMGs proposals a two legged challenge cup match? Imagine if we had to go in for a second innings this week at 50-4 down
