2013 Super League Fixtures

Quote: mat "Think your missing problem people have with the derby fixtures. If it was a standalone weekend that didn't count for league points then no problem with the derbies. Agree that the derbies create a better spectacle.
But as it stands it counts for league points and as such it isn't fair that some clubs have to play a team who finished in opposite half of table to them perfect examples are us v Leeds and wire v widnes. Gives Leeds and wire a advantage at top half of table over sts and Wigan who play each other and puts us and widnes at a disadvantage against teams at our end of table egg wakes and cas. If difference between us making playoffs or not came down to 2 pts dropped at magic then you can see how it skews table. Either make it some sort of seeded draw based on previous years finishing positions or make it a random draw so everyone has an equal chance of getting an easier/ tougher game each year.'"

I do see where your coming from. It's just as a Magic Weekend it should be derbies. I understand that Wire may get a slight advantage but I personally think it adds to the table. Imagine if this year we had Leeds and we beat them at MW which meant we finished 8th and Leeds 9th. But without that win Leeds would finish 8th and we would be 9th? It's an exciting weekend and is a great weekend. I do understand your point though
