rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk/magic_weekend_2016 Same old, same old. I thought they were going to revamp the fixtures this year?

Roll on another trip to the toon!

Saturday:

Salford -v Widnes
Warrington -v- Castleford
Leeds -v- Wigan

Sunday:

Wakefield -v- Catalans
St. Helens -v- Huddersfield
Hull FC -v- Hull KR

Us and Wigan knock ten bells out of each other and St Helens given a bye.

How's that fair?

Wakey vs Catalans

How hard can it be to give us a different fixture, really?

Some very uninspired fixtures, they could break up the hull derby once in a while.

So we have the potential to play Wigan 6, yes 6 times next year. Infact, it's quite probable. Every chance of taking the edge of what looks set to be a great rivalry for the next few years.

Why not give us Cas, a worthy derby now, and Wigan Catalans? Break the Hull Derby up too, it's too much.

At least the fixtures, dates and venue is announced in plenty of time. Something which the RFL has been poor at. So well done RFL for that.

As for the fixtures, I agree they could do with a change. It's tricky because obviously they want some big games in order to get the crowds in. But I don't agree with it being the same each time.

The fixtures apart from Catalan v Wakefield are pretty even.

From this season it's 1v2, 3v4, 5v6
The Hull derby is always unpredictable, Salford v Widnes shouldn't be too bad either.

Our Hotel' is already booked.

Disappointed with these fixtures.

They should have been:

Huddersfield v Catalan
Widnes v Warrington
St Helens v Wigan

Wakefield v Salford
Leeds v Castleford
Hull FC v Hull KR.

I think it would also be a good idea to let the winners of the Championship Shield season before ( for extra incentive) and losers of the million pound game play each other in their championship round game at Magic weekend. So this year would be Bradford v Fev.

Tell you what Hotels have been snapped up fairly quickly haven't they?

Managed to book our hotel 4 minutes after the announcement so suspect we got the 'non event' price. Checked 20 minutes later and the hotel was fully booked.
