Dave Woods and ex-England international half-back Kevin Brown review the latest edition of Magic Weekend, where over 63,000 fans enjoyed six games in glorious sunshine at St James’ Park in Newcastle, but is it the end for the event? Although IMG had suggested it may disappear from the calendar Rhodri Jones, Managing Director of Rugby League Commercial, suggests it may continue, but perhaps not in the North-East. Plus, he discusses proposed changes to the format and timing of the Challenge Cup, the possibility of another special event in the rugby league season and we hear from Hamish and Ben Weir, who were on hand to witness Leeds Rhinos don a special limited edition tartan kit in their clash with Castleford Tigers to pay tribute to their father, MND champion Doddie Weir OBE.
