And the final is 2 weeks later?!

Well as a Wakefield fan I think you'd understand more than most what my moan for today is about lol. The long wait for the cup semi took your teams eye off the ball in Super League and by time it eventually came round the early round momentum had gone - hence the loss to Hull.

I also use that excuse to explain our cup semi defeat to Catalans in 2007. :wink:

Get the rounds played 2-3 weeks apart towards the back end of the season, as it once was, with the draws being televised Live after the TV games and they wouldn't need to offer free tickets to get the interest going.

Agreed. I don't see why the draw could not have been made live on the BBC at the Leeds match.
