The Magic Weekend fixtures haven't been announced yet. No-one knows who plays who in those games. Those were just somebody's opinion of what will be picked. We may get a random draw again for the games.

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

Not true.
The fixtures are published, but not on which day.

If the games are ranked in order of how big they are then you go with 1 being top ranked 7 being the worst

Start off with 2
then 6
then 5

Has anyone got an idea when the tickets go on general sale for this and how much they're likely to be? I haven't got a season ticket so won't qualify for a discount. Cheers

Quote: MattyB "The whole reason for the weekend was to spread the game, now its at Manchester it's time to scrap it as it leaves an unfair outlook on the fixture list. Wigan play Saints three times whilst Wire usually draw Hudds/Salford and the current champions Leeds play the duffers from Bradford.'"



What a f**king surprise!!! icon_twisted.gif

Maybe a way of making it fairer and still offering derby matches

Have 2 matches as a given, FC v KR & London v Catalans

I'll use the 2011 finishing to illustrate my next point.

first 2 pools a West Pennines pool(including Hudds) and an East Pennine pool.

The team that finished top then plays the next team down the league that is in the same pool

Wire v Wigan
Saints v Hudds
Catalans v London
Leeds v Castleford
FC v KR
Bradford v Wakefield
Salford v Widnes

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.
