May be a bit early,

But when will we find out if the magic weekend is going to be a repeat of this year?? ie, first game of the season and at Cardiff.

Just thinking about a stag do, an would be mint if i could tie it in with the magic weekend, especially if its in cardiff!!!

Probably on the announcement of fixtures.

The fixtures come out around November time don't they?

18th November last year so it should be around then.

You are playing us

Source?

Thought it would be, just wondered if the date of magic weekend was confrimed earlier than that or not.

I doubt we will be playing the pies, Its got Wire v Widnes all over it!!!

It should be based on the previous season standings
1v2
3v4
5v6
7v8
9v10
11v12
13vWidnes

It makes a mockery of the league table, imagine missing out on the playoffs because you played a top 4 team in the magic weekend and lost, and the team who finished a point above you played bottom of the table and won...

Actually the teams that played each other this year have been quite evenly matched even the Quins v Catalans was an even game at the time.

I'd love to know if there is a professional league in any other sport which has an odd number of fixtures. This is a genuine question.

nrl?

I'm hoping the first game of the season is Widnes v Warrington down at the Stobart so we have a big crowd for the first game but we'll probably get hammered

The NFL. Admittedly not an odd number of fixtures, but 32 teams into 16 fixtures does not go.

They announced this seasons Magic Weekend in late August last year. I'm not sure whether they announced it that early because it was a change of venue, but it could be that early again, although if there is one, I should think it'll be in Cardiff again.
