Big mistake imo. Crusaders need all the publicity for Rl they can get. Maybe the RFL are giving up on Wales again?

On the contrary. Think the good work over the last 2 years for MM but also a couple of years prior to that for the challenge cup has done the world of good. Think Celtic will get a franchise and they already seem to have a great following that will only improve with SL rugby. Having been to the both of the MM weekends it defo time for a change.

Murrayfield magic?

I think with the addition of the two new teams the fixtures should be tweaked to accommodate them but keep the basis of derbies all round.
And Murrayfield Magic fits the bill.

Im not against the idea (just not sure of the venue) but if we cant spread beyond the very narrow bounderies that we exist in this game will be gone in ten years there will be just a few scattered outposts of northeners in small towns playing on out of awkwardness, Union will take over by shear weight of numbers & sponsorship money. This is not a go at my fellow northerers but a genuine worry. We expand or perish.
