I like Newcasle but part of me wonders if somewhere new injects a bit of life into it. Nottingham isnt a bad shout, good city for bars and at 30k capacity a good chance it would sell out (60k is the usual weekend figure)

In the longer term Everton's new stadium worth a go too, top class 53k ground and crucially close to Liverpool centre unlike Anfield which is a trek.

Nottingham would be a good shout

As good as Newcastle is a change probs best for a few seasons spread it around the country a bit

Liverpool is too close to heartlands imo the whole idea of magic weekend is to try promote the game is other areas

NRL fixtures for entire season published, every game every venue every kick off time.

If only ……….

Quote ‘to enable our fans to plan for the season’.

Wonder how many home games I will miss because of this ? Two trips to France ?

Come on IMG surely this is doable ?

It's due to sky not the clubs

They change football matches with short notice

any actual date of release been given yet? holidays need booking soon!

So the NRL don't have a huge TV deal then ???

Kind of got it when the sponsorship from Sky was massive, but in real terms it has dropped like a stone.

Surely fans are entitled to more notice of game switches than is currently the case ?

Rumours suggest end of next week.

According to betting sites Magic is 10th/11th August, and theyve put Grand Final tickets on sale for 12th October. Heard a rumour Hull will go on holiday from 1st August

You’re a real ray of Autumn sunshine, can we wait till May before we start dissin. Tarquin’s barometer needs a jolly good preseason overhaul and the usual 9 games, before anyone can make a judgement on next season.

KR First game definite. Donny away one of our friendlies, C4 got 14 games.
