    Don’t know the rules but just seen them win the super league title on the news.
    Both teams drawing and in the last minute.
    A kick to St Helen’s and it hits the post but drops favourably to a St. Helens player who collects for a last second try.
    Exciting stuff for them but agony for the opposition.

    A cracking game of proper rugby and as you say a sensational finish with the youngest kid on the pitch touching down with the last action of the game.

    A great advert for a great sport.

    I’d certainly recommend a weekend at the grand final or challenge cup final.

    a mix of fans, great atmosphere, no trouble, beer. Did I mention beer. Lots of beer.

    The magic weekend is decent too. And rugby league is a cracking game.

    just remember. We all hate Leeds!

    If you do Ian ffs don't go to any of Sky's great loves...Leeds or Wigan ...make it a Castleford , Featherstone or Trinity match ....preferably a derby match if the Super League
    ever decides Fev are worthy (despite a very rich heritage) or...perhaps the Hull clubs.
    Super league, run by the Wigan bookie Maurice Lindsay wanted these clubs to f*** off and die (amongst others) to create a perfect franchise system based on the US football system with juvenile names..the Rhino's...the Blue Sox...the Bulls ( ffs what was wrong with Bradford Northern?) the Warriors, the Vikings etc, don't buy into that s**t....its false and set up by monied arseholes trying to divest true heritage chasing Murdoch's quick buck.

    So Wigan lost it'll be our fault no doubt. Reverend Preedy's ghost probably gave the St Helens player the ball while holding back the Wigan player :D:D:D:D

    Are tickets readily available for those cup final games? Or hard to come by.

    Not sure about that but for a neutral I'd definitely do the magic weekend. Its a good day or weekend out mixing with all the other fans. Tickets are easy enough to get i think.

    Ian if you do go you'll love it. TV just doesn't do justice to the sheer intensity of the sport.

    Enjoy rugby league me, my favourite sport after Football.

    I've been to grand final a few times and loved it, theirs a few tarn supporters who support Cas so I go with them when I can.

    Great game league. Better than that legalised violence code. I get to the odd Fev. ( Featherstone rovers.) . Game.
    WTF was the Wigan player doing trying to watch the ball out. Allowing the St Helens lad to rush in.

    I’m a huge Hull KR fan, have been all my life! Magic weekend is my best weekend of the year! We booked our hotel weeks ago for 2021 after the 2020 event was cancelled!

    It’s back at St James Park in 2021, 6 games of rugby over two days and it’s so cheap! Fans all mix and the atmosphere is great! Bank holiday weekend as well so it’s nice not being at work on the Monday! If you like a drink you are allowed drinking during the game as well!

    Get yourself to Castleford Ian for an experience you won’t forget, particularly the atmosphere.

    You can probably even wear your Arab top and fit into the colour scheme.

    I have just checked out where exact Castleford was. I did not realise it was a suburb of Wakefield.
    Not too far from Barnsley.
