This...

I will NEVER tire of beating St Helens.

Just tried to ring up for tickets for the Sunday and was told they have sold out and more will be on sale from 9am tomorrow morning.

Can't disagree with the skipper hereI'm really looking forward to the Magic Weekend. I think the idea and concept of taking Rugby League on the road is great and hopefully the people of Manchester will come out to see what all the fuss is about. The only downside to the weekend is the fixture list, I think it should just be a normal round of fixtures rather than specially selected ones as it gives an unfair reflection on the league placings. If it was just a normal round then each team would play each other twice and the league table would be accurate and fair after 26 rounds.

Maybe on the spare weekend we could then have an Exiles game? I think it's great we are having two this year but do wish the second one, which is going to be between rounds on a Wednesday night, was on a standalone weekend like the first. I'm really looking forward to that this year and the England boys really want to avenge that defeat from last year. From an international perspective I think it's great we get a mid-season game against strong competition. It can only help us when we host the World Cup in 2013.[/i

But then one team in each fixture loses a home fixture.

What they should actually do is use the magic weekend to bring back the magic of the cup. Have the QF's as the magic weekend.

Or the semi-finals and include the NRC final as well.

It has hit an all time low in terms of fairness this year with us and wire being the front runners and them having an easier list of fixtures.

i dont like wire's as much as the next wigan fan, but to be honest i think this weekend will fair things up for warrington they had by far the toughest easter weekend by traveling down to france and faceing catalan. so its just evening its self up.

A false 3rd fixture doesn't "even up" the luck of the draw.

But they played Widnes on the thursday!

That could be evened up in alternate years though - still fairer than an extra fixture against a top team instead of a bottom one. It's going to be a long time before an extra fixture against Widnes will equate to one against Saints, I think.

Not so sure Geoff. Saints are falling fast

would rather we did our moaning to the rfl AFTER we have beaten saints. not been enjoying all this 'its not fair' stuff this week. focus on the task in hand.

Well Wire are top. This weekend is a big weekend for Saints a chance to get back into the battle for the top 4. We still need fixtures to go for us this year given our awful start to the season. But a win this week will allow us to play Hull next week knowing we can take their position off them despite the extra game in hand.

My head still says Wigan, but I ain't listening to my head today.
