The only reason it was is becuase it was a derby game they could hype up, it hasn't happened for 10 years or so. Had it have been another SL team then definatley would not have been on t.v.

The only reason Fax v Bradford was on telly was because there was only one all SL tie, Leeds v Crusaders, and Fax v Bradford was probably the most attractive of the other ties.

Last year we drew Wigan, given the history of the clubs (1998 and all that), at the time Wigan were top of SL and walking away with it. The game was massive and ended up being a classic.

What did the BBC show? Leeds v Catalans.

I rest my case.
