Millenium Weekend

4 oclock on the sunday afternoon of the 2 days rugby played i think the sunday has the better games



Saturday 1 May

Bradford Bulls v Crusaders RL (1300)
Hull FC v Harlequins RL (1500)
Salford City Reds v Warrington Wolves (1700)
Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity (1900)


Sunday 2 May

Castleford Tigers v Catalans Dragons (1400)
Wigan Warriors v Huddersfield Giants (1600)
St Helens v Hull KR (1800)

I think it should have been kept in Cardiff, or even better had at Old Trafford and i think the derby games were much better.

Totally agree.
Also think that rather than a round of SL fixtures a one off tournament or mebbe even incorperating a round of the CC would have been better

to make it more interesting, they could use this weekend as a sevens tournament over the 2 days, so each team gets afew games and somebody actually wins something

mmmmmmm Me thinks you have thought about it greatly, firstly the Giants don't play the Saints in the group games, so no arguments in your house
