| Quote: thepriestman85 "Back on topic and in regards to the game I think based on a purely playing perspective the Exiles idea worked.
The game last night was 20 times better for us than what the French games have been.
I just hope the RFL really stick with the plan and let it grow from here. Next season let's play it somewhere like Wire or the new grounds at Saints or Salford and see what we can do.
It's an idea that works.'" With you there priestman. As I posted somewhere else:
A standard alone weekend, no Super League games. Cheaper tickets including deals for families, groups and amateur clubs. Incentives for amateur rugby league clubs to sell tickets. Move game away from Headingley. If possible have no Championships games on same weekend, at least not within 100 miles of chosen ground. |

Why not just play on a Wednesday instead of a stand alone weekend?
Alternatively, if we want to make it into a 3 game season, instead of the Magic Weekend you have Wales/France, Scotland/Ireland, England/Exiles + a 9's tournament to replace the current format.
2nd game on a wednesday or a stand alone weekend midway through the season.
3rd game week before the grand final (minus those appearing)

I wouldn't have it on a Wednesday because a) people have work the same day and the day after and b) I want the players' minds to be 100% on the Exiles game. Some mentioned that there were players keeping something for their club game. Wednesday to Friday/Saturday is short enough fir that to happen again.

This is the thing we've finally got the right concept and now it's time to tweak it using a plethora of ideas like the ones above.
Scary to think both teams could be a lot stronger as well which means the standard should improve.
Personally I'd get rid of the fan pick gimmick. I'd play it on a stand alone weekend and maybe have the knights squad play France on the same day.
One thing is for sure the RFL can't screw this one up.

Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

| Quote: 100% Warrior "And thats the exact reason international RL is a joke.
People putting club before country. Not supporting the games fully, therefore not going to the games, therefore low attendances, no media interest (some papers had a 5 line column on the game). You should always have England before Wigan or any other SL club.
Look at RU, Cricket, Football. Country is always before club. Wonder why our game is considered a joke at international level? Little or no fan interest in it.'"
Erm, most people these days put their club before their country when it comes to football. I know I do. |

I have always been a country before club man but after last night my outlook as change, as last night proved there is no hope for International Rugby League in the UK.

Think some 'fans' might do the job for them.
Fan pick needs to go. |

Fan pick was a farce, Bluey picked who he wanted, now if they went fan pick for England I'm sure we could pick a better squad than Banana.

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

I agree, a three game series could work well. Have one before the season starts, one mid-season and one at the end. Do away with the 'fan pick' and just pick the players who are in form. |

One thing it did show was our inadequacies, we can now tweek the side and limit the level of defeat to the ockers.
