Quote Faithful One="Faithful One"Yes, just all balls in the pot now.
Has it been successful? West Hull getting a big pay day, Fax pushing Catalans until the 60th minute, York Acorn scoring a try against a professional club, Bradford still with a chance of upsetting Cas, all been positive so far.
The heavy defeats, the idea of playing clubs away not actually being allowed to happen, all a bit of a farce.
I'm sure for those players from West Hull, York Acorn and Wests Warriors though, it'll be a day (and probably the night out after) they'll remember for a long time.'"
I think on balance I like the idea, some of the execution hasn't been great (venues, West Hull and Hull FC playing at the same time etc) but it's given the amateur and semi pro clubs a bit of cash and a good experience, and I think most of the SL clubs will have got something out of it too. On balance I think it's been better than just giving them all a bye.
