Saints, Wigan and Warrington should all be capable of taking 10,000 fans each to Anfield, and Leeds will travel well. The Hull clubs always have good support, and I realise it's the opposite end of the M62 for them, but most places are a trek from Hull really so their fans are used to it!

Since it's on Widnes' doorstep, how about getting their Championship game V either Toronto or Toulouse as the curtain raiser on the first day? It would be an opportunity to showcase expansion and sell a few thousand extra tickets.

Day 1.
Catalans v London
HKR v Hull FC
St Helens v Wigan

Got to be looking at 40,000......

Day 2.
Salford v Huddersfield
Wakefield v Castleford
Warrington v Leeds

30,000....maybe 35,000......

Not sure about giving Toronto another "home" game where they don't have to fly teams over...they had their free pass last year and messed it up. They should be playing Home and Away alternate weeks.

Toulouse then. I'd just like to see Widnes have a game if it's in Liverpool as they'd surely sell 5,000 tickets minimum.

Widnes v Toulouse on the same day as Catalan v London.....that would work!

Don't get me wrong, Toronto are all well and good, but they need to do it properly in 2019 with no skewed fixtures.

Magic Weekend based on last season league positions and a block of four apparently

1 v 3 - St Helens v Castleford
2 v 4 - Wigan v Warrington
5 v 7 - Wakefield v Catalan
6 v 8 - Huddersfield v Hull FC
9 v 11 - Salford v Hull KR
10 v 12 - Leeds v London.

That works out lovely for Leeds then. Didn't it get changed from derbies because it was deemed unfair that we got Widnes when they first got back into SL and hammered them? I know Leeds have got that game by virtue of being rubbish this year, but we finished where Leeds did in 2017 and still had to play Wigan at Magic 2018.

Does work out nicely for us yes but then again if we faced Salford this year and Catalans faced Castleford instead we possibly could’ve gone into the final week of the regular season still able to make the top 8. Doubt anybody thought that was unfair. I think it’s been Cas the last 2 years and Wigan 4 years on the trot before that so we’ve had our fair share of tough fixtures all because we’re the big city team with the biggest fan base.

Leeds, Hull kr and Catalan should win comfortably, the other fixtures could go either way.

The final placings maybe decided on the positions after the Grand Final

i.e
#1 Wigan,
#2 Warrington
#3 Saints
#4 Castleford
Maybe that's where the rumour of Wigan v Saints has come from?

Hehe you little tinker

A few journos have said it’s after 30 games rather than after grand final.

Hope you're right, we seem to get done by Cas every time we play them these days

Catalan to beat Wakefield eh ?

Is that based on form or your love of "expansion" clubs ?

Lebron reckons London by 32
