Re: What is Magic About Next Weekend? : Wed May 22, 2019 5:46 pm
It needs to be used as part of a consistent strategy to expand the game. I was always disappointed by the lack of integration between the Magic Weekend and the Newcastle club. It’s a perfect opportunity to get new people interested in the sport whilst also pointing them toward regular RL on their doorstep.
So wherever it goes it needs to be for 5 years minimum and tie in with a local club that the RFL actively helps promote.
A scattergun, roving, 1 year here, 1 year there approach will do very little in my opinion.
