That's what folk said for years about 'the grand final everyone wanted'

Wasn't a bad turn out for the GF was it? For some reason we just had a massive rectangle empty in the lower stand. Still don't know why that was.

Not as many neutrals want to show up when we're in a game, they don't like us due to past reputation, and no one likes Wigan except Wigan.

I find it ridiculous that we as supporters don't know the date or our opponents for Magic Weekend. I work regular shifts including weekends, so I need to book time off in advance.

Overall I think the RFL do a good job in promoting what is to the Media a minority sport, but on this matter they have got it wrong.

Being announced today at 2pm

Were playing Saints in the last game of the event.

Saturday May 17th
12.30 - London Broncos v Catalan Dragons
2.45 - Widnes Vikings v Salford Red Devils
5.00 - Hull Kingston Rovers v Hull FC
7.15 - Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos

Sunday May 18th
12.30 - Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Castleford Tigers
2.45 - Huddersfield Giants v Bradford Bulls
5.00 - Warrington Wolves v St Helens

London v Catalan, thats just a guaranteed 2pts for Cats, how are these fixtures decided?
It should be Us v Wigan, Hudds v Cats, Saints v Leeds, Bradford v Wakefield & Cas v London

Cats get a gimme
Widnes get a rinsing
Giants get a gimme
and I'm bored of Saints already

Saints don't want us and we don't want them.

With the season actually meaning something it should have been 

Wire-Wigan
Saints-Leeds
Hudds-Salford
FC-KR
Wakey-London
Cats-Widnes
Bradford-Cas

the sunday looks really unappealing.

The whole thing is starting to look unappealing as far as I'm concerned although it is handy in Manchester for me and I've enjoyed it so far but its old hat now and is it really fair when a cull is coming?

I have to agree with various posters that have suggested a CC round might fit the bill for a two day jamboree, not sure if there's an appetite for 9's or how this can be resolved with our TV paymasters?

An alternative to the Magic format could be to schedule these extra 7 games into the weekly rounds but to be played in areas where the RFL are trying to promote the game away from its roots.

Yeah I wouldn't go to that

Magic Weekend last season was great. The atmosphere just prior to our game was fantastic.

For me the MW at Manchester is a winner

why has it took so long to release fixtures yet they are exactly same ones as last year?

This has baffled me!
