Three guesses who we've got

And no prizes for guessing that Saints yet again get a comfortable fixture. The fixture scheduling is becoming the only part of the Magic concept I’m not behind. I love the event but it’s crackers how these fixtures are being chosen IMO.

Its getting boring now

Re: Magic Weekend : Tue Feb 23, 2021 3:34 pm  

Anyone know how these are determined? It's not 1 v 2, 3 v 4 etc but it doesn't look like they have gone for derbies either (e.g Cas aren't playing Wakey).

Re: Magic Weekend : Tue Feb 23, 2021 5:34 pm  

The whole thing made even more ridiculous by the fact that we also have a loop fixture as well. Surely someone should apply some common sense and not let this happen.

The magic weekend has run its course, time to scrap it.

You're asking for a bit too much there, Royal Wire. Common sense and the RFL? Mutually exclusive really.
As a Wigan fan we played Saints 5 years out of 6 at Magic.
Played Leeds four on the trot.
If we'd played you guys last year we'd have played each other four on the bounce.

That's boring! Surely by now the RFL would have found a better way of sorting the six game fixtures?
A plain old drawing balls out of a bag would be better than this shambles.

I quite like Magic but they need to stop messing with the venue and date.

Same place, same time every season. Maybe even pick the fixtures the week (or 2 week) before in a 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th format to try and keep the games fair and as closely contested as possible.

Yes keep it at Newcastle been best venue for me and the fans seem to love it . Maybe try something different with fixtures and have a Lancashire v Yorkshire theme each team who wins gets a point and see who comes out on top just a bit more interest
