aye, 3 years ago wire got widnes and with all respect to widnes it was their first season back up and they got dicked on. 2 free points for wire, whilst we had to play a still competing bradford. very disappointed with the fixtures.
as has been stated, it should be a "cup" draw. completely random, but hey ho. still be an awesome weekend out on the toon |

Surely the magic weekend should have been after the split, and the games count as the extra home/away game in that phase.
I would have everyone plays everyone home and away up to the split, then 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5 on for the top half, and similar in the other parts. That way all teams get the same number of home and away games. And its more fair as it rewards teams higher up.
The main downside is that magic would either just have to be the top 8, or there'd have to be all the top 2 mini-leagues to be totally fair.

If you're going to make regular season fixtures meaningful, these extra ones have to go.
Hypothetically, if we lost to Wigan and Cas beat Wakey, what happens if they beat us into the top 8 by one point? OK, I know what happens, but that wouldn't seem the fairest thing.
I doubt it will come to that, but there does seem to be a bit of an issue with this, and as the league gets more competitive (look how close the top 6 were last year) people might start to ask questions.

I've said it before, get rid of the magic weekend & only play one round of fixtures over the Easter Weekend.

Yup, I'd go with that.
IMO Magic doesn't introduce new fans to the game. It doesn't generate coverage in the mainstream media. So by those criteria, it's failing as an event.
Get rid, use the free weekend for either a round of games moved from Easter or an England squad get-together and maybe a game against the Rest of Europe. |

Didn't we lose to Wakefield last year? The way we finished the season we'd have to play Dewsbury U12's to be guaranteed 2 points. |
