I was on the verge of going into full-time residence on the Wigan board.

I suppose I should contribute seriously to the thread and say I'd pick the curret twelve plus Widnes and Toulouse. In reality I think it will be Salford and Widnes.

Decision to move the Magic weekend to Scotland is on the back of the RFL decision to give the Crusaders a License next year. i.e there is no longer a need to promote the game in South Wales whilst they have a Super League side and thus allowing the game to open up new territories and bring more money into the game.






Questions are a Burden
Answers are a prison for oneself

"Murryfield Magic Games"

Leeds vs Stains
Wire vs Wigan
Quins vs Bradford
Catalan vs Hudds
Cas vs Wakey
Celtic vs Salford
Hull vs Hull KR




All Evenly matched games IMO (With Exception to Wakey vs Cas only based on this years games)
What about Salfords crowds.

Widnes.

Why so? The clubs applying will know the criteria, why should joe public need to know?






Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

:lol: brilliant
