The RFL is delighted that after being drawn at home ... Wigan Warriors have been given permission to [play at the DW Stadium.
The schedule for the 2012 Carnegie Challenge Cup was circulated last year and all clubs have had ample time to put in place contingencies
[Clubs are aware of their responsibilities with regard to broadcast agreements.
Wigan were aware that should their tie be selected for broadcast, the onus was on them to find a solution. [/i
Get back in your cage Leneghan - the sport is run for the benefit of all, not just one club.'"
Completely and 100% correct there are the RFL.
Yes, Wigan have put forward dates that they cannot play, but the Challenge Cup is not the SL. If they get drawn at home, they can't expect the RFL, the opposing team AND the BBC to all jump for them. The BBC pay money to pick when the game fits their needs. It's not Wigan's choice when BBC put them on. Pretty disappointed at reading that Wigan statement to be honest. I thought better of Leneghan.
