Main issue with the Loop fixtures is repetiveness. Could end up playing Wigan for example in 3 regular games, a challenge cup game, magic weekend and twice in the playoffs. As unlikely as it is that we will play them 7 times its not out of the question that we could play them 4 or 5 times a season.

Loop and Magic aren't going to overlap based on the quotes from Lenagan (i suspected this would be the case anyway). So no more repetitive than at present and to be honest i'd rather play decent teams 3 times in the league rather than have 2 games against lesser opposition such as London/Halifax/Featherstone.
I view it as a start, We need much better quality marketing and I know it's a real bone of contention but we do need a Toronto and London to grow the game otherwise we will be semi pro in 10 years time.
Learned comment from The Don
It will be less repetitive with the new structure as you only play half the teams 3 times rather than all top 8 three times, keeping all 12 teams together keeps it a bit more fresh. Not ideal but better
Until we go for 14 teams this will happen
Was some talk of 13 teams with a bye twice a year, I beilieve NRL does that now?
Has there been any response from the double glazing salesman yet ?
