Quote: DGM "Yeh I agree, there's no chance it'll be scrapped. I enjoy the weekend myself, but I also see it as a cynical way of extorting more cash out of existing RL supporters to boost the RFL coffers above anything else. The original idea to use MW as a concept to spread the game is dead in the water. It also devalues the derby IMO.'"
The concept needs a rethink, us playing each other every year was becoming a farce. The only possible way it could be done whilst giving no one an advantage / disadvantage in the league would be to play cup games there (wherever there is) the only round that would make sense is the QF's. Never know it may inject a bit more enthusiasm into cup crowds if it was a bank holiday somewhere nice.
