Thinking about the magic weekend's 'derby' format today and the number of damp squibs it leaves that aren't derbies at all, I don't see why these games cannot be made up of more competitive pairings. Leave the games be that are actually intense derbies and then re-jig the games that neutrals don't care about, e.g London v Cats, Hudds v Salford and possibly Wire v Widnes.

So Wire v Widnes isn't a derby? How long have you been watching RL?

I do agree that a better pair of games would have been Huddersfield-Catalan and London-Salford...but to be fair to the RFL London were tipped to challenge for the top8 when the fixtures were announced. |

The Wigan v Saints games at Magic Weekends have often been some of the poorest and least intense games. |

[quote="dally messenger":1gysl9ow]was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have[/quote:1gysl9ow]

How about they select the fixtures on the Sunday night before.....1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th etc......
London v Widnes
Wakey v Castleford
Salford v HKA
The Airport
St Helens v Hull
French v Hudds
Wire v Pies.
It's not like the fans and clubs don't know where the games will be played.......and I reckon the fixtures above would all be very competative......more so than London and Widnes shipping 50+ points each

WTF 
OK.....if you are joking, I am laughing with you.....but if you're serious....I repeat, WTF
Working Saturdays/Sundays is more and more a fact of life in the UK, but would it really be a massive hardship to get a shift swapped?
Fair enough.....draw the games from the table after round 11...3 Weeks notice to get a shift changed...... |

I agree gutterfax. Would only be the same as the Challenge Cup draws.
If they are giving SL points for it then it has to be as even as possible imo.

Agree to a certain extent, I preferred the format they used a couple of years ago, on league places (maybe the previous season?)
Looking at the fixtures there will be 3 walkovers this weekend IMO.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.
