Quote: Robbo "I still don't think the fixtures are fair. But the fact that the rfl have taken note that not everyone is willing/able to travel and spend a fortune going to Cardiff/Edinburgh for a league game and moved it a bit closer to home is atleast an improvement.'"
Swings and roundabouts - My opinion is totally opposite of yours. Since the Magic Weekends' concept started I have been for the full weekend every year and always had a great time. I don't want to spend the weekend in Manchester, 20 mins from my house. I think the scheduling has been poor too to put this on a non bank holiday weekend; putting people off further staying for the weekend IMO.
Quote: Robbo "The whole reason for the weekend was to spread the game, now its at Manchester it's time to scrap it as it leaves an unfair outlook on the fixture list. Wigan play Saints three times whilst Wire usually draw Hudds/Salford and the current champions Leeds play the duffers from Bradford.'"
Hammer, Nail, Hit Matthew!!!!
The concept was always to take SL and indeed RL on the road but being smack bang in the heartlands seems a bit silly tbh.
