I'm in the camp which says scrap it. The idea was to spread the gospel of RL and it doesn't seem to have worked. We tried it mid season and tried it as an opener at locations aimed at new audiences. Now we're in Manchester? It should have been north east for me? Maybe Newcastle and invite a Cumbrian side in some way.
The fixtures are seriously unfair but without the Wigan v saints game there would be less attraction to neutrals.

Scrap it!!!

Its a joke when you consider there is nothing to do around the ground and its a good trek outside of the city centre, with poor transport links. Cardiff was great as the City Centre is on the doorstep of the ground and you can really make a weekend of it, rather than it being just ANOther game. At least if they'd had it at Old Trafford there are transport links to and from the ground and a number of pubs/restaurnats where fans could gather and make an atmosphere and weekend of it. Why do we always have to play St Helens? It's not really fair as we are just penalised year after year, while Warrington get an easy game. This extra game last Year (it could be argued) cost us the title!!!!!Would it not be a better idea for the RFL to move the Challenge Cup Final to say Old Trafford or Etihad to save the trip to Wembley and make the Magic Weekend.....well Magic again?

to be fair to him..... he did say it COULD be argued..... wouldn't be a very good argument though.
