Correct. We should have had the opportunity to draw one of the lower teams. Such as Quins......



Joking aside, I do agree with you. Who knows at this stage whether the Murrayfield draw will impact on final league positions? It's certainly a possibility and I don't see too many wolfs (

) fans complaining.

it can't ever work as a 3rd game because you will always have the view that teams get an unfair advantage with who they are drawn against. The derbies worked better even though We'd always draw saints and leedsvbradford etc but its more likely that the form book goes out of the window but you still ended up with warrington v salford. I think the full structure of the fixture list has to be loooked at seriously. I'd like to see 12 teams in SL with the season starting at the beginning of March but even with 14 teams in 26 games would only still take us to the first week of September. (granted CC etc extends it further.)

I'd like to see a State of Origin type series still played midweek, but if the yorks/lancs fixtures didn't attract then england v superleague series would be immense.

I'd also like to see a weekend celebration like the magic weekend but not in "development areas" but in the heartlands like city of manchester stadium/hillsbrough etc so we can get the profile of RL back up to national recognition but instead of playing a league game it should turned into a 7's tournament or similar.

I have to admit that I enjoy the Magic Weekend, although the fixtures this year really don't inspire me.

I'll be there on Sunday nonetheless, but I do think it's a shame that we moved it away from Cardiff just as it got established.

Murrayfield is OK, but a little out of the way.

Wembley is much, much worse - Stuck in the middle of an industrial estate.

Millennium Stadium was/is far better - Within walking distance of restaurants/pubs/whatever else you want/need, good atmosphere, etc..

The only things that spoiled Cardiff for me were the consecutive losses to Stains and that bloody roof. For ****s sake, we're an outdoor sport. Open the pigging roof - Even if it's raining.

How about the Ricoh Arena?

No thanks who wants to be sent to Coventry

why not just have a week off after easter

this is the rfl we're talking about they'd probably have an anual school like sports day ahead of a reasonable idea like that.

I'd prefer to see all the games over Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. I'd do away with the Easter Monday games.

I like Jamie Peacocks suggestion, to have it as the opening weekend of the season. Should move to Dublin imo next year, would be a good weekend over there.

Would be a good idea if the RFL were looking to bring an Irish team into SL or the Championship otherwise, what's the point?

Opening the season with it, is a good idea, but the RFL need to look at the venue and do some kind of deal for travel.

Price it correctly and make it accessable and people will attend.

Snore fest so far murrayfield wimper..

Having it as an opening weekend fixture sounds good though

I think both games so far have been quite good. Just no atmosphere though, stadium must only be 1/3rd full, which doesnt look good.

Theres have been so many drop balls and mistakes thats been the main thing so far

Saints Vs Harlequins should be a good contest next week with the form Quins are in! Wish it was on TV.

Yeah i suppose, but the games have been good contests so far with the underdog winning in both matches. Come on Salford next, dont break the chain

And Wakey - the full set would be nice...!

Get Salford out of Super League now!


Fooking woeful.....!! 6 minutes in and the game's practically over!

Can't see anything other than a convincing win for Warrington, and probably one for Leeds to.

Me too, unfortunately, but we can always dream...

Opening weekend fixture in a 30-40K stadium would be just about right imo. Somewhere like Bramhall Lane/Carrow Road/Villa Park

IMO i'd like it scrapped, i dont like it at all. If we insist on having a weekend like this, then i think it should be something like a 7's weekend, a proper party like atmosphere and some fast enjoyable rugby. Just a fun weekend without any pressure.

a weekend of derbys would be a good thing but murrayfield is the wrong location. with the exception of wigan v hudds, not really any mouth watering clashes his year. the rfl need to downscale it, seeing an empty staduim is not a good advert. keep it up north, the reebok when bolton aren't at home or elland rd. much more suitable venues. create the atmosphere with big games and the fans will come. neutrals want to see big games, but this year it hasn't happened which is why so many have stayed away. the concept is good, just needs tuning.

wigan v saints
bradford v leeds
cas v wakey
quins v cats
wire v hudds
salford v crusaders
hull v kr

all at elland rd ( or similar venue ) id buy the ticket

Scrap it.

Its artificial.

Teams get unfair advantages / disadvantages.

Makes a mockery of the competition.

Correct.
