Are you suggesting, for example, Tony Smith on hearing the draw thought "Oh, bugger, Keighley at home. How I wish we'd been drawn at Wigan."
The cup winners get the same trophy regardless who they've played in their cup run.
The only disappointment for me was that all the top sides were kept apart.'"
coundt agree more  |

It's not rubbish. It's just how I feel about the situation. I don't expect that the club will feel the same way, but I reckon to be the best, you have to beat the best. I don't think it's much of an achievement to win the cup having only beaten one decent side in doing so.

Without checking can you remember who Warrington beat in their cup winning runs in the last two years? |

Winning the cup does not mean you are the best though. Winning the league does (arguably before the advent of the play-off structure).
Any team on any given day can come up with a cup upset. Nigh on impossible to do it over a sustained period in a league situation. |

The point I'm making is that there's little value (to me) in a cup that you win by beating loads of NL teams and winning a final against SL opposition. |

I might well be. But when we won the Cup in 2005, we did it the hard way. And it was all the sweeter for it. |

Kinda my point.
If we won the Cup I couldn't care less who we'd beaten in doing so. |

It's your point that because I don't know who Warrington beat to win the cup that I shouldn't care who Hull beat?
The fact is, we could win the Roy Waudby Memorial trophy by beating a single SL team - it's hardly a great achievement. |

"HULL FC have chosen to play their Challenge Cup clash with part-timers Oldham on a Saturday afternoon – to help their opponents field their best side."
Bloody hell. That could be a mistake.
