Going to Elland Road with some optimism. If we play as we have been of late, we are in with a chance.

season defining game this one. Go levwl on points with Hull FC and they'll get a serious case of the wobbles while we will grow in confidence.

I have never seen the point in the Magic Weekend, it's only an additional skew to the fixture list & rarely, if ever, packs out a ground. Not sure what is magical about that?

I believe that Sky like it.And it gives those at the RFL a chance to pat each other on the back and say what a good job it is that they are doing.
I too agree it is a bit of a nonsense.

When was magic weekend last played in the south? I would have thought taking it to the Midlands might have been an idea. I agree it is past its sell by date.

2007, 2008 & 2011 Cardiff
2009 & 2010 Edinburgh
2012, 2013 & 2014 Manchester
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 & 2023 Newcastle
2019 Liverpool
So not much initiative shown by the RFL but I suppose Cardiff could be considered south.

That sounds right. Shame about Parata, he’s picked up a couple of head knocks this season which will be a worry.
I’m hoping for a decent performance - we could win this but it’s difficult to tell.

Oh I see our match (or any of them) is no longer on Super League plus....
