Something to have on iPlayer to boost the BBC’s RL ratings.

Everyone should follow the link back to the BBC and "like" what they've said so they know there's an interest in RL. It'll take a second.

I didn’t know you could do that without logging in, I’ve just liked all four things on that page.

Some good ties there, I'll get myself down to the West Hull game. Quite like the look of Edinburgh v York Acorn as well, got some mates up that way, I'll see if they fancy it.

Two long trips for Ellenborough. Either that or a big London match-up.

Some potentially very intriguing second round ties. Edinburgh v Jarrow would be an interesting one. Potentially a forces derby with Army v Navy. I'd love to see Galway v Police and the London derby.

GOOD club Ellenborough I am sure the lads from Maryport will leave their mark in London LOL:)

Galway Tribesmen vs the British Police would be funny.

Wonder if Her Majesties Constabulary would wear black and tan kits?

As long as they leave their rifles at home I'm sure all will be well. 

[Joe Aitcheson]

Wonder who Ellenborough will get in the 3rd round?

[Jughead]

Would that be the first competitive London derby, should it happen? 

[spanishknight]

Some great ties in there.

Streatham & Mitcham would have played Acton & Willesden in 1935-1936. Postwar, you are probably right.

I was having a look myself. London Chargers played Hammersmith Hills Hoists in the Cup in 2018, it seems.

Souths and Wests in the cup just over a decade ago?

Galway are running a fundraiser to help subsidise their trip to Pilkington. They say the trip will cost them 10 grand! Surely that is an exaggeration, right? If it is a squad of 25, that means €400pp!!

Why can’t they play this at home… surely this rule needs changing. Missed opportunity to gain some profile and column inches in Ireland.
