I agree.....
So why not have:-
1st V 2nd
3rd V 4th
5th V 6th
7th V 8th
9th V 10th
11th V 12th
13th V 14th
But using the league positions from the Monday before the magic weekend? (Although if like last year two teams may have a game in hand if the World Club fixture weekend fixture hasn't been arranged in time). |

While I've nothing against Manchester (despite it being on the dark side of the hill!!! ![]()
Manchester isn't really the sport's heartlands though is it? The benefit of Cardiff wasn't really to spread the Gospel, it was because the Welsh Tourist Board gave the RFL some money. I don't know if Manchester Council will be doing something similar, but the benefit of holding an event like this in Manchester is the newly opened MediaCity.
Plus, CoMS, IMO, is a good choice. Its only a 1.5 mile walk from Piccadilly. If you go down Dulcie St, you take in one end of the Northern Quarter (plenty of places to eat and drink) and then head through New Islington, a regeneration project. I haven't been down that end of Manchester for a while now, but hopefully they'll have some places to drink and eat now.

| It should be kept as rivalries. There is no way you can get an extra fixture to be completely fair so you may as well make it as good as possible
Fixtures would be:
Leeds v Bradford
Saints v Wigan
Warrington v Widnes
Hull FC v Hull KR
Catalan v Harlequins
Wakefield v Huddersfield
Castleford v Salford
I know some of these aren't rivalries but they are still good games.  |

Did so well until the end!
Castleford vs Wakefield and Salford vs Huddersfield makes far more sense.
The first one is actually a derby, and the second one there are no other teams between the two places.

[iSaturday[/i
Hull F.C. vs Hull K.R.
Leeds vs Bradford
London vs Catalan
Warrington vs Widnes
[iSunday[/i
Wigan vs St Helens
Huddersfield vs Castleford

Either that or do a draw based on play offs and 9-14
Main - Leeds vs St Helens, Warrington vs Wigan
Second - Huddersfield vs Catalan, Hull FC vs Hull KR
Draw 3 - Castleford vs Bradford, Salford vs London , Wakefield vs Widnes
[iSaturday[/i
Wigan vs Warrington
Huddersfield vs Catalan
Castleford vs Bradford
Wakefield vs Widnes
[iSunday[/i
Leeds vs St Helens
Hull FC vs Hull KR
Salford vs London
Or option 3 a draw
Draw 1 Warrington, Wigan, St Helens, Leeds (based on GF)
Draw 2 Huddersfield, Hull, Hull KR, Catalan
Draw 3 Castleford, Bradford, Wakefield, London, Widnes, Salford
Personally i like option 1 or 2 (prefer 2)

Quite happy with 1v2, 3v4, 5v6 etc etc but only if it was based on the table the week before the magic weekend took place. That way every game would be massive bar those right at the bottom.
The magic novelty has worn off though. Us Wigan and Saints fans won't really want to see our sides meet again just three weeks after the first ever derby at the new Saints ground. We love our derby but we ended up with 6 last year and it dilutes it a lot playing that many!
