I'm in Wales that weekend as well, although it's Aberystwyth for an American Football game...

A pot of tea for four... bitch!!:15430.gif |
|
| The problem with this is as much as I'd like to boycott the event (2 days in cold wet Cardiff is not my idea of fun) I'll be climbing the walls for a rugby fix by then so I'll probably end up going...  |

I'm happy with it.
It'll be a good excuse for a day trip/weekend on a winter weekend after a long off season. I find that Magic weekends get in the way when they occur halfway through the season.

Im happy with this too.
Will be a good way to launch the season and will give some meaning to the event.

I loved this weekend.
All the supporters toghether sharing a nice cold pint out side the pub in the summer time.
I loved watching the rugby, but my memories are of all the fans interaction. It will not be the same with people freezing there bums of. I doubt many will go at all.

They did not even answer my email to them i think its time the RFL got someone with at least half a brain to run it. I think they consulted with Jamie Peacock as i seam to remember it was his suggestion.

No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

I don't care where/when it is, I'll be there.
I just want to know how the fixtures will be arranged?
Will it be a random draw again, with the possibility of 7 "nothing" matches (like this year), or a set of derbies, thus handing the advantage to teams like Warrington?
How about a top-6 versus bottom 8 as we've had in the past, which hands a clear advantage to any team that vastly improves during the off-season?
There really isn't any good way to decide on a bunch of extra matches, is there?

Seems there hoping after the off season everyones need for a rugby fix will make them turn up in better numbers than they have been for the others.

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Tenerife and t.v. seems a better option .

Just hope we are playing St.Helens.
Hoffman, Finch, Lima on debut for Wigan.
Perry, Shenton on debut for them.

No mention of where the WCC and the couple of fixtures that get re-arranged as a result of it will fit in with this. Don't Quins and the team playing in the World Club usually get one of the regular weekly matches moved out to the start of the calendar to accomodate fixtures against the visiting NRL champs? I hope if the RFL are making the Magic Weekend the 'curtain raiser', they don't balls the impact of it up by having a couple of matches taking place the weekend before.
The dates they've given are a week later than this season started, and two weeks later than Leeds and Quins' first matches (against Crusaders and Wakey) - that may cover it for this to be the first round of games for all teams?
Fingers crossed things don't backfire with the weather too, as clearly someone's forgotten that this Super League season kicked off in Wales with a match in the snow!

How much rubbish can the RFL pile on our game?
In Summer the stadium looks only a quarter full, what it will be like in the middle of winter is anyone's guess.
Remember February this year with snow, roads and rail lines blocked and airports shut. Never mind fans not going, if it's anything like last year the teams won't even make it!
The silver lining could well be that it's such a disaster that it will be the final one.
Then we can have a League fixture list that makes sense with fourteen clubs and twenty six games where each club plays each other twice.
