And Wakefield have no Tronc, Brough/Cooke, Millard, Newton, Blaymire, Henderson, Kirmond that I can think of - I'll bet there are more.

But Leeds have injuries.............oh hang on no that was last month's excuse by the Sky team, this one's is ' maybe Leeds' bad start to the season might have something to do with the fact that they are concentrating on the possiblility of getting to Wembley' (Eddie)....or words to that effect

pardon me but is there only Leeds thats have a chance to get to Wembley ?
Eddie is so reluctant to say that Leeds are just having a bad season this year and has to find excuse after excuse for them

Leeds also dont have Nick Scruton, Chev Walker, Terry Newton, Barrie Mcdermott, Marcus Bai and many other players who dont play for us anymore

All those players were replaced. Wakefield haven't had that benefit.

Please explain why?
26642 plus a large TV audiance have seen two upsets one rubbish game & one close game. If they are happy whats your problem ( I asume you are not there) I would settle for that.

So we just carry on with this event that the media ignores just because a few RLFans enjoy the day out?

crowds are going down year by year, as is media and fan interest. It needs to be re-vamped or ditched IMO.

28k is a shocking figure for 4 games of SL rugby, and tickets were about as cheap as they can be.

Well, at least the Wakey, Leeds game was half decent.

The first three games today were very poor.

Thank God Aussie games are back on the box.

Re: The Magic Weekend 2010 : Sat May 01, 2010 8:33 pm  

Hopefully there will be a bigger crowd tomorrow. I've seen a lot of fans of teams playing tomorrow milling around the the city centre.

But that has no relevance to injuries. Danny Brough didnt play for wakefield today, not because he was injured but because he doesnt play for wakefield.

Saying Wakefield would be better with Brough is no different now to saying leeds would be better with Inglis.

the point made about Leeds injuries is that they have affected the quality of their play, and when these players return Leeds will improve, not that if player A who plays for a different club would improve them.

To include players who dont play for Wakefield in a list of players unavailable for Wakefield is clearly nonsense.

Rod Studd did Bradford v Crusaders, Ben Proe Hull v Quins, Bill Arthur Salford Toddlers v Warrington & Eddie Hemmings Wakey v Leeds. Usual array of numpties co-commentating added to by Paul Cullen!

What was Tony Smith's comments about the commentators at the end of his interview? Something about it being a breath of fresh air to here Bill Arthur commentating and that he couldn't wait to get back and watch it again? What was that all about? Does he not like Eddie and Stevo?
