Was discussing this very point with a mate, nearly all the 'Magic' games could have gone either way with the exception of the Widnes game. A guaranteed 2 points for them with an almost guaranteed massive points difference.

It was much fairer when the fixtures where based on the previous year's league positions.

How about you draw the fixtures out on the day of the game. Pre season u could decide which teams will play on which day determined by the previous years league positions in some way, then if the first game ko's at 12 you draw the first game out at 11 and then each subsequent game at half time.

This way gives the magic weekend end a bit of mystery and would encourage fans to watch all the games as they would not know when there team is playing.

Worth a try one year???

first magic weekend for me and thorougly enjoyed the experience, it would benifit from a totally random draw and to possibly include the top championship teams (against each other) Great stadium and contray to others we had a great time mixing with fans from many clubs. I am sure this could be developed and is certainly the place to hold it. Agree with everything about wires/Widnes game mind you it gave me an excuse to have a few pints in the bar area avoiding majority of that game.

Would require 8 dressing rooms to be available, unless people shared or got changed in their cars a la Sunday league.

I think it sounds like an amusing idea in abstract, but there it ends.

Maybe you start with two teams, and every 2 minutes another team joins in, possibly with the addition of another ball. In the vein of the Royal Rumble they used to do in wrestling when I were a lad. Do they still do that these days?

The WWE still do it. Saw one on Sky the other week. Great comedy!

Comedy?

It's a contested, un-predetermined, sport? Silly.

Wow. People still think that joke is worth doing?

Bore off.

Just like the Warrington v Widnes game
