But I'm up for it

I hope 'good friend' was meant in a complimentary manner by the way!

Some people on there are muppets mate, guarantee they wouldn't feel the same if they were a Leigh/Fev/Fax/Sheffield fan.

And of course it was complimentary, your contributions are always worth a read!

Re: Anglo/French Cup : Thu Nov 17, 2011 3:22 pm  

By the way, how have they decided who's at home and who's away? I understand that Fev and Leigh finished in the top 2, but if you look at it like that Halifax finished 6th! So why aren't Batley in it?

From your point of view, are you happy that Sheffield seem to have been given an away 'draw', even as Grand Final runners up? The only 'performance' reason that Halifax would participate instead of Batley is because they went further in last year's play-offs, but in that case it should be Sheffield having a home game and Leigh playing away, not that that would be my preferred option, honest!

EDIT - you beat me to it about the 'draw' anomaly! It does seem to have been decided on league placings though obviously that doesn't explain Halifax replacing Batley.

Definitely some potential in the idea though if this sort of thing can be ironed out for future tournaments. Though of course any question as to how the thing will work (especially when considering the Championship fixture list) is instantly dismissed as 'flatter-capperism' on the VT, so it's relieving to have genuine debate about on here!
