makes sense, I believe they are short of a bob or two - so their owners will be pleased.

As has been mentioned, looks like the Etihad Stadium at the end of May for this year's Magic.

Any links for this?

Guessing there are no concerts on this year. As that ground is only allowed x amount of non football events each year.

I've been told so no link, a few of the RL press guys on Twitter have alluded to it in the last few weeks aswell.

Not really an odds vs evens system if the last one isn't odd vs evens.

I think that sticking with attractive fixtures is the best way to go. Doesn't necessarily have to be derbies.

Wigan vs Wire
Saints vs Leeds
Widnes vs Salford
Bradford vs Huddersfield
Wakefield vs Hull FC
Castleford vs Hull KR
London vs Catalans

Asking Bulls (again) to play Leeds would be totally unfair. Team that finished 10th vs SL Champions? You are having a laugh.

And if they DID stick to "local derbies" then you would have the new boys Widnes playing Warrington - again, you are having a laugh.

I do not agree with this invented extra fixture if it counts for SL points. Never have and never will. It can never be fair.

Millennium Magic 2007.

Hull FC (Grand Finalists and 2nd in table) vs Hull KR (newly promoted)

As painful as it is for me to bring that game up, who won?

Those 2 could be switched and played as derby matches, similar league positions not too much of a mismatch

That's what I did at first, but was trying to emphasise that it didn't need to be derbies.
