The six team play offs I liked. 1 and 2 got 2 chances at it which I thought worked well.

I like a top 5 with 1 getting to the grand final and the winners of 2v5 and 3v4 playing each other, but I wonder how much momentum 1st place would lose not having a game for 3 weeks. This would give 1st place an extra incentive. There's no way we should scrap the grand final, it's one of 3 main money makers with Wembley and magic. I quite like the idea of the cc quarter finals being the new magic weekend, but the cost would dramatically increase for fans of they were only given a month's notice to book, as opposed to 6 months.

The other thing they could do with Magic is to have a 9s tournament, since there is 9s world cups planned in the international calendar.

All teams play across both days, a bit like the Union 7s. First day the group matches, second day knockout matches and play off matches, (11/12th place play off, 9/10th place etc.)

Gets all 12 teams fans in the ground over both days and in there for the majority of the day too.

Yer, seen that mentioned a few times. It's something which I don't think I would have interest in. The previous attempt at a 9s tournament was fairly pathetic, teams just put their kids out which is fair enough, but I'm not sure I'd travel 2 hours and fork out for tickets, food, accommodation to watch that. If they took it as serious as some teams in the NRL do, with ex players playing etc then it could have some entertainment value. Not sure they'd get 60,000 though.

Supposed it comes down to how well it was marketed with regards to crowds, and maybe how much prize money they was for the winner to how teams treated it.

i have no interest in a 9s tournament, either scrap it or keep it but make all teams play rivals, fc v cas wig v sts wakey v leeds warr v hudd cat v tou tor v sal haha

I agree with the GF and the Challenge Cup final, and the payments for winning or losing these competitions are transparent.

Not sure we’re the cash from the Magic Weekend goes, to pay big Nigel off perhaps.

Make it financially viable, attractive and most clubs would be pushing for it. The game needs to be more inventive. Another incentive would be if the winner or the top three are allowed extra on their cap. Or some such thing.

Leeds though.

They'd still beat us if we had to play them at Headingley tomorrow.
