Instead off moving from A to B all the time why not just come up with a different concept. Just for one weekend say if you score over 40 points you get a extra point,so if you win and score over 40 you get 3 points instead off two.Even if lose but still score 40 you get a point.If the Rfl are adamant in moving around the British Isle then and Football grounds would need to be used when the football season has finished.You see manure letting a rugby league team use they pitch then the week later they have a title decided,which if they lose we all know who Fergie would blame it on.

Moving from Cardiff to Edinburgh.. Error
Stopping the derbies... Error

Edinburgh is a trek and not that great a city IMO. Like many people though, I've been saying I'm not going for the last 12 months, but I know come Friday, plans will be in place to go one way or another.

When they said the weekend was being played in Scotland, I was hoping it might have been Glasgow. Prefer it there than in Edinburgh and Hampden is a tremendous stadium.

Never been to Glasgow, but it's still a trek either way. I really like the concept too.. really like it. The single biggest mistake though was the fixture changes. Granted Wire v Salford still exists but the juicy games like Wigan-Saints, Leeds-Bulls, Hull-KR were worth making an effort for.

Now..
Wakefield v Saints
Hull v Quins
Castleford v Catalans Dragons

Damp squid. Wet fart, call it what you will. It's hardly "must see".

[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag. [b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg



Me and a mate are making a day of it

1230 - put some bets on
1-5 - insignificant other teams' games/Playstation
5-7 - Warrington 24 - Salford 37
7 - 2am - Manchester night out

I love these weekends.

I agree, the bet place was Cardiff, ideal situation for access to the ground, (not got that horrendous trek to the stadium in the middle of nowhere) It's easy to come in and out between the game if you want to, every thing you need is around the ground, and would be great to get the derbies back. All told that would attract the crowds back. I know the supporters I knock about with and other supporters I talk to all prefer Cardiff.

Much easier to get to from this side of the pennines though!

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg

You are spot on!

Should have been kept in south wales where it was doing really well. Cardiff is the perfect city for this and also has the perfect stadium. Not to mention they moved it the very same year we got a team from wouth wales in super league! Idiots!

The derbies should have been kept. I was pretty excited about watching Hull v KR 2 years ago but last year, Bradford and Wakey, Quins v Salford.... I didn't really care. We are pretty lucky this year, it is still a massive game for us, but for some fans I don't think they are getting a top game.

The derbies attracts more fans, and will also keep more people in the stadium for longer. It makes a much better atmopshere as well.

I like the idea of having it at Eastlands but I think that would be better for a challenge cup semi-final double header, so I would move it back to south wales and bring back derbies!

The event last year was embarrasing for our sport, this year it will be even worse. The RFL don't have a clue. Even the wire fans can see it icon_wink.gif

I don't think we should scrap these weekends!!! We need to give Cardiff a second chance and then those people who keep banging on about not going Edinburgh because it's not as good as Cardiff can go!!! I think Cardiff has everything including the right location.

Go back to Cardiff bring back derbies or make the games big ones!! E.g. Leeds v St's Us v Wigan Hull v Hull kr etc etc

ABW.:



I'll just go wherever it is, whether it's a start of season weekend in Manchester/Newcastle/London, or whether it's as it is now. The only place I probably wouldn't go is Dublin, and that's only because you have to take out a mortgage every time you buy a beer.

Sums it up perfectly, I have been to the other 3, not going this year as I wasn't impressed with it in Edinburgh last year. If it was moved back to Cardiff I would be there in a flash but I am in no rush to go back to it as it stands.

Carlsberg don't do bad ideas, but if they did they'd be as bad a this one....

I would have put the following games;

Saturday
Bradford vs Wakefield
Catalans vs Harlequins
Hull KR vs Hull FC
Warrington vs Wigan

Sunday
Crusaders vs Salford
Castleford vs Huddersfield
Leeds vs Saints



A mix of big games and derbies
