Quote ="goobervision"No. The Magic weekend should be replaced by a 9's tournament over two days to take it out of the regular season and give us a different spectacle to watch.
Thoughts:
1) Regular randomly drawn knockout competition
2) Mini-league, one or two games per team (40mins per game) with highest points winer.
3) Rules to entourage fringe players to get a game
4) And why not, winner of the comp to play the antipodean winners at a later date. Who wouldn't mind a good game around the Christmas period for example? It's not like Boxing day is the same anymore.'"
I was going to ask why don't the poms just do their own version, with SL and Championship clubs in it somewhere in the UK (Wembley 9's or something) but I like this better.
