Nice to see the RFL giving other teams as much chance as possible.
Magic weekend fixtures now mean the top 4 from last year all play each other three times (I think).

So leeds get an easy 2 points. Hang on, I though SL had it in for Leeds?

Newcastle.
That weekend is the Liverpool marathon. Multiple road closures and transport issues, plus the capacity of Merseyside police to run a city-centre marathon and Magic Weekend (as well as maintain order in Liverpool generally) would be challenged.

Couldn’t be avoided could it seen as they were going on last years league placings. Considering everybody is saying we’re rubbish now and will be for years then what’s the problem as surely we should then get a lower team to face???

It`s just based on league positions from last season is it not?

So because it`s the Liverpool marathon that weekend it means that it will be in Newcastle? I am sure there are other options on the table outside of those two.

I wonder if all the clubs asked/agreed for there to be no derby games?
