Squidward Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 It's farcical. Can't see anything but those teams playing non Super League teams getting byes. The opposition teams can't just turn up without their overseas players and without any training or preparation. The likes of Cas (they play York) are just required to win two matches to get to Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan S Taylor Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 If the Super Leagues clubs are all awarded byes in the next round, how can the competition be completed with integrity. Whilst it is reasonable to accept that the Final would be contested by two Super League sides the competition it would not be fair on the teams from the lower leagues and the competition should be cancelled. Lower division clubs can and do beat those in the higher leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost (i.e Wembley ) of doing so would be to great for the RFL. 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could there be a split coming on.I do hope so, i am fed up of Super League looking down on the lower divisions instead of helping the game progress from bottom up not top down.

Squidward Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I said farcical earlier. It's worse. I guess SL will say it is an unfortunate and inevitable effect of Covid19 but to me it really highlights the discrimination in the sport between SL and The Rest.

Squidward Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Respect to the Club for the well chosen dignified words and respectful comments about those directly interested in the Challenge Cup such as sponsors including our own commercial partners. The official statement is admirable in its restraint but I bet behind it all our Chairman and all concerned are seething and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
