    Everything that Garry Schofield says is always spot on - honest and thought provoking.

    It's amazing that the League Express Podcast doesn't have an attractive setup, yet the discussions are just bloody proper. Please make Garry a regular.

    The problem with the Challenge Cup is that its early rounds are compared to SL, thus it looks an inferior version of something we already have. Same teams playing at the same venues in front of lower crowds.
    I'd have all SL teams (except the champions) entering at round of 32. All seeded away to lower league sides (different venue, different opposition). SL champions have a free weekend to play WCC.
    All remaining rounds (Ro16, QF, SF, F) played at a neutral venue like Magic Weekend. Gives a fixed date in the calendar, a fixed venue to sell to a new local market, can pool resources together to create a unique event, all can be televised easily with one setup, won't be compared with SL fixtures as it's at a neutral venue, has a low bar set in terms of crowds (did the combined attendance of the last round even break 30k?).
    Also gives new life to Magic Weekend and removes an extra loop fixture from the league.

    All challenge cup matches should be played on weekends 3 to 5 pm in the daylight no one wants to be travelling Friday nights, as for coaches both smiths are in a dodgy situation,

    Schofield has made a giant leap up in the podcast world, from the Forty20 miserable lot to a proper podcast! Nice! Make him a regular fixture
