On rugby am show now, premier sports. Talking a lot of sense. 'clubs should listen to fans' , 'don't let people like Peacock, Sinfield n Morley go out of the game'...Magic weekend should be a nines tournament to attract more people to the game etc

Didn't do too well on mr n mrs

Is he having two rants this week?

Why?

Because he's a Johnny Come Lately who hasn't heard of previous generations.

Having said that, we let Shaun Edwards and Andy Farrell leave the game it seems all they have done is plunder the game of its talent for their new paymasters. He might have a point.

Can't believe anyone sensible would ask that question!

We need to correct the mistakes of the past - see Sluggers post above!

So every time a distinguished player retires, the game should feel that it owes them a living and create roles for them?

I don't agree; those players who show an aptitude for administration or other jobs should be appointed on merit - those who want to coach already have a route into that career. For those less inclined to do a real job, there's always TV punditry.

I don't think Marwan Koukash has the roadmap to fix rugby league - he says whatever he's thinking at the time and it's clear that he doesn't think most of his bonkers ideas through before opening his gob; in reality, he doesn't know much about RL - I've long since stopped paying attention to his rants.

How would a meaningless 9s tournament attract more fans then the current magic weekend?

I have been 3 times in a row to the magic weekend, I didn't go this year because I didn't want to sit through every game in the 2 days.

I'd definitely go to a 9s tournament though so that's already +4 fans as my mates would also come

I'm with you on this, costs me about £300 for the magic weekend, I personally wouldn't go to BV to watch a nines tournament, totally pointless.

Scrap the tragic week end . With promotion and relegation it will becomes a lottery. If it must be kept then look at a totally new format.

Magic is fine for me as it is. Long day though

It's a long weekend for me. I love the concept and think it is something good which we do.

Not sure why people knock it so much. Most fans just turn up for their team's match then disappear, just like an away match. Shame really since for me the whole idea is about loving the rugby and seeing teams other than your own playing. A pie and a pint don't go amiss either.

I think it's a decent concept which could work better. I like the idea idea of derbies and competitive games, I'm just not sure of the fairness of the RFL deciding the fixtures. I'd also like to see it played at a smaller stadium that would be full. There's nothing worse than rows of empty seats at what should be a showpiece event.
