You mean random as in Keighley getting a French team in the 3rd round 4 times in a row, including one after a re-draw when a ball was mysteriously found in the bag at the end.



We've had French teams in 5 of the last 7 3rd round draws and foreign teams 8 times since 2000. It's getting so farcical we're predicting it in [url=http://viewtopic.php?f=31&t=481597advance.[/url

I'd give teams a points start depending on the league they play in



10 points per league

Wire play say Leigh or Widnes, they get a 10 point start

against say Keighley 20 points.

Yet another stupid idea

i should have added a wink, it's fine as it is

I keep saying it but the only way to make rugby league stronger, Super League stronger, the Challenge Cup stronger, the player pool stronger, England stronger is by improving the Championship and making it strong enough so that clubs can interchange between divisions without contracts going null and void, with no fear of facing the wilderness.



We need to get the Championship to a level where clubs in the 2nd division can spend to say a £1m salary cap, with their own TV contract, strong sponsorship etc.

We certainly do , can you tell Richard and Nige please , because they obviously think the opposite

Considering were arent that much ahead of that point with SL, any idea how we get there for the 2nd division as well?



Its just not only very unlikely, but largely not a priority.

I think the evil RFL empire should stop the beleagered championship clubs from entering the competition, strip them of the league format and make them play friendlies against amateur outfits from new areas like cornwall.



Then film starbug as it's announced.

If it was up to me, they wouldn't get in for free.



I'm sure Oldham would rather play at home in front of 1000 fans paying £20 each, instead of having to travel to Hull to play in front of 6000 with only a couple of hundred pay £15 each.

All you would see would be a door shutting behind me , and a couple of thousand others , no great loss in the bigger picture

You actually believe it could happen.

Only if your scenario was to happen
