    what's sad is that wallet has just even agreed with me that the challenges are an issue that need correcting, and now that Mand has just given him the opportunity to correct it he still won't do, he will vote to keep the challenges and then say something ambiguous like 'I don't think it's right to change the rules once we have already started the competition', which has just been falsified by Lunny and Pad Man

    I think all of those in a position of power should send out the right message by getting this resolved now, in the interest of guaranteed fairness.

    You do realise that without challenges you have very little chance of catching us, right?

    Wallet better not be a rabbi here or I'll make sure he's battered by Teeto.

    I don't think Europe has benefited from these challenges, either. I could be wrong though, I haven't been following this thread closely for the past few weeks.

    I'd be in favour of scrapping them.

    How do you figure that? It's March, and we're 82 points behind. This week we beat you by nearly 20 points in terms of regular picks, and with a significant number of weeks left in the year it's more than feasible that any team could win it as long as they consistently score big, as we have been doing. Four weeks is all it would take to be in contention with you at this rate, that's a very small space of time in the grand scheme of things.

    I think we are the bestside for actualy fight picking ability. We just havent been able to win enough challenges.

    We've had 2 challenges and lost them both. I wouldn't say to scrap them just because of that but they have been poorly organised by all the teams and there's been a lot of confusion with what challenges involve etc.

    It's whoever can worm their way into challenges. Everyone's got the chance to do it but it isn't straight forward. It should be based on how good you are at predicting fights, not how good you are at worming points.

    Take this week for example, some teams managed to get challenges, others didn't. That's not level, there's luck involved in that.

    Straight forward predicting fights is a level playing field with no room for ambiguity.

    you've changed your tune, a few moments ago you was agreeing with me that ousting the challenges is in the interest of guaranteed potential equal points to everyone and that the challenges promote ambiguity

    but now that you have the power to actually do something about it you are going back on that

    do you understand how hypocritical you look right now?

    Just do the right thing, that's all i ask

    Wallet's only saying this **** because Wales are top.

    Whereas I've had the same opinion since the start.

    Wallet can not be considered an impartial judge as he is a Rabbi.
