WAS the Magic Weekend a successful event? I ask, because if it was, there is no reason to abandon it. If it wasn't, then presumably we wouldn't miss it.
One of the great things about the weekend in Newcastle, apart from all the usual bonhomie among the supporters of the twelve clubs taking part, is that we were blessed with superb summer weather, which showed off the game to its best advantage, with some stunning tries that should be capable of being used to illustrate what a wonderful game Rugby League is, particularly for broadcasters.
