| It should be league position:
1v2
3v4
5v6
7v8
In the words of Stevi; “it’s as simple as that”
The games would all have an element of doubt and probably some really good clashes. Saints v Widnes is going to be a terrible advert for the game just like the Easter Monday farce. 50-12 is my prediction

So the week before MW, you tell the fans that we might be playing on Saturday or Sunday because we're not sure what position in the table we will be.

You could either base it off of the prior year's final standings, or simply have a cutoff point after several rounds of the current season and use the standings as they are at that moment in time.
Either way you will get teams more evenly matched than what we have now.
They did actually do it this way for at least one year. Not sure why they didn't stick with it, maybe the gates were down as a result.

You've just answered your own question…… it doesn't work.

| All lower tier stands except the East and sold out for Saturday now. But they are keeping quiet about Sunday, think we will see a big difference between the two days sadly

| Could be a surprise addition to Hull's team this weekend. Kirk Yeaman has registered as a member of the first team. If needs must, he'll be coming out of retirement on Sunday!

Crowds were down, for example Hull got Harlequins, which while a fair draw poistion wise (they beat us) didnt get the pulses racing like the Hull derby does, you only need a couple of unattractive games and you can be 5k fans down as a result.

Glad Hull aren't playing my lot Wakey. He was usually good for at least one try every game.

| Fixture wise it really should've been Saints vs Hull and HKR vs Widnes. Make those changes with the former being the closing game on Sunday then it's a good even lineup with all 6 games tricky to call.

| 38,881 in attendance today, 3k more than last year and back on a par with 2016 levels...but I really can't see tomorrow doing big numbers so at best its holding its own crowd wise but not progressing.

| I’ve been to every single magic weekend. Both days for each.
I can honestly say this year has been totally pants. There is no magic anymore.
No crowd interaction -We got a few girls dancing about, some little kids playing, some crap with spacehoppers, And a live band you couldn’t see so Might as well put on a CD. One Screen too tiny to see owt. Kids bored stupid.
Please let’s go back to etihad- at least we got some entertainment for our money! Atmosphere was flat as a pancake because They couldn’t be bothered to try and generate one.
