It's the timing of what he's said thats the problem imo.
I think we should drop the Easter Monday games tbh as it's too tough a spot to play 2 games in 3 days and given the fact that the salary cap means your squad doesn't tend to have much depth anymore you can't even rotate your players.
The points he makes are valid but the timing of them are a disgrace.

I agree about the Easter weekend, just play 1-2 games a day (1 round of matches I mean) over the whole weekend and stick as many as possible on Sky.
Not so much on Easter Monday, but certainly the weekend after Easter there were lots of stupid scorelines as the players were butchered from the week before.

The idea he had to drop Easter Monday games and put them back to the magic weekend is right imo.
He doesn't want the Magic weekend at all which is something i don't agree with but i don't see the need for an extra game.
All teams play each other home and away apart from the game in the magic weekend where a side would obviously miss out on a home games gate taking which they would have to be overly compensated on in comparison to their competitiors of that day.
Just make sure that even with a draw system teams don't get placed against their local rivals.

Why not keep the easter monday round of fixtures but make it compulsory that each team can only field 5 players from the Good Fri starting line up. That way teams would need to consider their line ups on good fri, and the easter monday fixture would be a test of all the rest of the squad / youngsters across the round.
Coaches would have to give some youngsters their chance...ie/ instead of doing a noble and keeping them out, and the youngsters will all learn 10 times as much in one game playing with and against SL players than they would in the reserves. All the fans get the chance to see the young talent in the squad and the fans stil get the festival of easter RL, so it suits everyone and develops the game at the same time....one or two gems might be found in the same process and keep some of the more established players out, just as ainny and tompkins have taken their chance when selected due to injuries!

Tbh had you said
"He is black and therefore he has no opinion"
Then no doubt we wouldn't hear the end of it. Yet you make a comment about his genes and somehow it's "acceptable".
What a strange world we live in.
By the way I CAN actually say
"His command of grammar is terrible, therefore there is little point listening to his opinion", and I would have a very valid point. I am talking about you btw.......
Oh and my hair is brown before you ask..........

Are you really that stupid?
Actually your post proves you are.
Carry on. The more people you can show your ignorance to the better this forum.

Look at the stats space man. Are you seriously saying you would pick feka over James graham?
Props like feka died 20 years ago, ok he is big and runs hard but 25 to 30 mins per match is not the hallmark of a quality player.
2009 stats.
Metres gained:
Feka 1281 metres 9th
Graham 1901 1st
Carries:
Feka 155
Graham 253
Tackles:
Feka 190
Graham 237
Those stats are based on this year only with feka playing 2 more matches than Graham.
While i agree he is a good impact player and good at breaking tackles he lets you down in so many other areas of the game, especially when he is tired ( After 2 Mins ).

| Feka over Graham
Don't get me wrong i like Feka and i'd like to see him in a side alongside somebody like Graham but he's not in Grahams league in all honesty.
We'd be back competing with Saints and Leeds just on the back of a signing like Graham.

| Forget Graham. Burgess had both Graham and Mary in his pocket in the Bradford game.]

Totally agree.
I prefer Graham over Burgess too. In fact, I'll even prepare to get shot down and suggest Sam Burgess is over rated.
