ELBOWSEYE Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sick of playing Wigan at magic, will give a miss. We will probably have them in the cup a couple of weeks before like for the last three years. Never short of overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were going to mix it up why leave the one game that has been consistent for the last few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine both days finishing with well supported Yorkshire clubs is intended to build and keep a crowd to the end of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callmedave Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I see the great minds of the RFL have put Giants vs Wolfpack on 1st match on The Sunday. That means a 7.30am kick off in Toronto. So much for trying to engage the new fan base and expand the reach of our great game. Surely any other of the kick off times would have made more commercial sense in terms of media coverage.

Depends if they want the place empty for that game , they probably assume the overnighters and large fan bases of Wigan and Wire will come in early to watch at least the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Pretty dull line-up. Give Magic 9s a go (with punishments for not fielding players who started the previous Super League fixture). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELBOWSEYE Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Just looked on the Warrington guardian website and all comments are about playing Wigan at magic and how they are bored with it. Could see crowds drop even lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are debating what a load of male genitals the RFL are doing with the magic weekend. Bring back the derbies, the current fixtures listed won't entice people to attend,I certainly won't be going to watch these fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
