I know form can change quite quickly, but based off what we've seen so far this year, some of the magic weekend games look like lemons at this point.


Saturday 21st May
14:30 Salford Red Devils v Widnes Vikings
16:45 Warrington Wolves v Castleford Tigers
19:00 Leeds Rhinos v Wigan Warriors


Sunday 22nd May
13:00 Wakefield Wildcats v Catalans Dragons
15:15 St Helens RL v Huddersfield Giants
17:30 Hull FC v Hull KR

Looking at it off current form, the opening game of the weekend looks pretty good, while the big finale could be a big damp squib.

Yes on our form at the moment we will hammer FC but it has happened before with both teams one looking like big under dogs but come out to win

Looking at that list of fixtures, it might be an idea to turn it in and head for home at approximately 18:30 on the Saturday.

Well, i didn't want to say that, but the thought did cross my mind, still time for wire to go and have a slump.

Just say what you think. You'll upset a few on these forums, no matter what anyhow.

I'd re-jig the fixtures as follows...

Sat
14:30 Catalans V Leeds
16:45 Castleford V Wakefield
19:00 Warrington V Widnes

Sun
13:00 Hull V Hull KR
15:15 Salford V Huddersfield
17:30 Wigan V Saints

Jobs a good 'un now.

The best way to anticipate close games is to base it on the previous year's league table at the end of the super 8s.
1 v 2
3 v 4
5 v 6
7 v 8.
Then do the same for the middle 8s
1 v 2
3 v winner of £1m game.

It would be ideal if this could be done based on the positions of the teams going into the weekend, but supporters book tickets to see their team on a certain day.

Plenty of time between now and the 21st May for Leeds to have injured players returning and to find good form. No way could that game be billed as a foregone conclusion.

does anyone really care about the games after the first half of the first game anyway

or maybe they gave the big finale to the hull teams as in past magic weekends they have been entertaining and contriversial
