Shame (typical) that this quickly descended into slating the RFL, Toronto and Tolouse. The post was actually about the great potential in Belgrade and across the Balkans.
It's great to have Red Star in the comp but, "great potential accross the Balkans" is massively over egging the inclusion of Red Star, who, like any other lower league side, will crash out when they are tested against either a top Championship or SL side.
As I say, great to have them in the hat but, what will they actually bring to the comp.
Regarding Toronto and Toulouse being "forced out" of the competition is a bloody disgrace.
If "we" are going to carry on with forcing out clubs, who cannot sell their ticket allocation fro the final, it's time to scrap the Challenge Cup altogether.
Standard entry fee, with the possible rider that overseas clubs have to forfeit their home advantage up to the quarter finals but, ALL clubs should be allowed to enter at the appropriate time and just as another poster has suggested, this gives our two overseas promotion hopefulls a free week, while their competition are getting battered (physically).
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
