Why has the derby format been scrapped except for Hull's?

In respect to fairness of the league final make up and now relegation is a consideration I think they should change it to a nines competition rather than a full fixture round.

totally agree. should be a 9's competition for sure!

Not sure about it being a 9s game. Unless there was big money attached teams would not risk their big players and so the fans would not go. It would terminate the concept.

But make it the first game of the super 8's for me would be ideal to kick off the 8's. But you may lose alot of Hull fans.

Wire, Widnes & Wigan fans in the same small stand playing on the same day.

Yes, well done RFL.

Most people do, but you know what it's like when some people are on the drink all day. I will be amazed if it doesn't kick off badly.

Hardly the RFLs fault if a few shandyarses can't take their booze. They need to grow up!

That should be the tag line for every major RL event.

Considering what happened at the GF, a little bit of common sense should be applied here. In an ideal world of course all rival fans should be able to mix and have a laugh. But with alcohol and hooliganism sticking three rival club fans in a section is a bit stupid.

The RFL should know that there will be those that can't take their booze and will get lairy.

Considering the police presence we have at our games v Widnes, it seems utterly ridiculous to have us in the same stand at a big event like Magic.

Drunken gobbins will fight with anyone so perhaps the RFL think that if they put you together then everyone else can enjoy the games in peace.
