which of the above games would you rather see in the season? id rather the rfl scrapped the millenium magic weekend got back to everybody playing each other twice and in its place brought back the yorkshire v lancashire games, whats peoples thoughts on this?

Imo more people would go to MM

You know the war of the roses matches could have an interest but it would need to have the full backing of the clubs which given todays overplayed staff i doubt it would , and the player injury risk is just far too great in my opinion, whilst i personally would love to see them again i just cant see it happening

Personelly would like to grow on the York / Leeds 9's tournaments of the past and have something for ALL of the clubs not just SL. Also think it would be of interest to people outside of the heartlands. Think rara's have done well out of there 7's circuit.

how about england v celts
ie rest of britain and france

no different to yorks vs lancs, same player issues, not gonna happen

i would like to see the grand final at the millenium stadium, a proper rugby stadium in a great location.

yorks v lancs is a waste of time which was highlighted by the embarrasingly low attendances. It is also out of date as the game is trying to expand.

I agree with the MM principle but it should be done in smaller stadia in a city that is more accessable.

maybe city of manchester stadium, st james park, villa park or bramall lane/hillsborough would be better options. it should be made more about the spectacle of rugby and full crowds than an away day in a country that has little or no interest in rugby league.

I don't think the Magic Weekend is a dead duck. It just seems under-thought.

It's at the wrong time. It needs to be later in the season to make it more attractive to families.
It needs to be moved more. 1 year in Dublin, 1 year in Cardiff, I year in London, 1 year in Paris etc.
It needs to be better publicised, not just amongst RL fans/teams.
It needs tickets/hotels packages for families and groups.

It should be SL on the road, as some suggest, but in a massive way.

NEVER EVER do I want to see a Yorks v Lancs game again

The last one played was the one that ended Preccie's career, when he came on as a pointless sub, playing on the wing in a pointless game.

That's good enough reason for me.

It's all very well proposing Paris and Dublin , but the cost involved getting there will be far higher than a cheap rail ticket to Edinburgh , even with budget flights , which of course are limited in number.

Oxymoron?

Wouldn't be suprised if you could fly to dublin cheaper, leeds/Bradford to Dublin is £20 each way

Liverpool to Dublin (P&O) for 4 people in a car is £140. so £35 each and a bit of petrol for our lancashire friends

Personally i think that we should have another cup competition and get rid of the magic weekend all together.As the only cup we can play for theses days is either challenge cup (end of august)or grand final trophy (beginning of oct).Which are both to the end of the season anyway. Say for example where you play at the beginning of the season.To get people interested prior to super league kick off. Going back pre super league we had the likes of John player trophy of the floodlit trophy (I know that we cant advertise alcohol or cigarettes now).We used to have a charity shield before the main season opener. Why dont we bring that back to life? Just my though. Anybody else agree/disagree ???

england vs super league barbarians (overseas players in our competition) playing in a area just off the m62 that has a bit of potential in rugby league

In that bit where the east and west bound lanes separate??? Would cause havoc mate, nowhere to park, people having picnics on the motorway....carnage

agree, i would bring back the county cups as a pre season thing, getting rid of the friendlies and having some silverware on offer in their place makes sense to me

Still wouldn't go to Cardiff in February

It would be warmer than caravan park in June.

This sounds a realy good idea- but is surely the same principle as the england v france friendly just it wouldnt be all the catalans team! Id prob go to this game anyway would be a great game prob!

i think the MM weekend needs to be later in the year. Rugby league needs to be expanded outside of the heartland to encourage more fans to get involved with RL.
i personally feel that haveing the grand final in Manchester is the right thing. the biggest day in the RL calender where it belongs. The challenge cup belongs in wembley, its the best stadium in the country. But surely its fair to give cardiff or edinburgh a chance to exhibit RL at its best.
