That's unbelievable.
It would be great to become the first club in history to win the Challenge Cup from The Championship but, sadly, it's not worth the gamble.
However highly the odds are stacked against the lower leagues, it's a pity that there isnt provision for any club that could make it to both finals, even if winning the Challenge Cup from the Championship is "impossible".
It doesn't help these days when the SL clubs are "protected" by coming into the cup so late.
Surely this takes away the "romance" of the comp ?
The final 4 lower league clubs will join the 12 super league clubs shortly. With an exceptionally fortunate draw that could see 2 lower league clubs advance to the last 8 then another similar piece of luck put 1 in the last 4. Last thing we want is missing out on 1895 final by joining Saints, Wigan and Catalans in the CC Semis.
