    A minority channel for a minority sport. Appropriate.

    Actually Super League gets higher ratings than Rugby Union does on Sky so that is wrong. Plus I wouldn't call Sky Sports a minority channel. Unless of course you are the ghost of Kerry Packer

    City are in Europe even if we lose.

    Great news UNLESS you live in Hull and also enjoy soccer. Seriously, why couldn't the RFL see that having Hull FC vs Hull KR at the same time as Hull City vs Arsenal was a bad idea? As soon as City won their FA Cup semi-final, the RFL should've shuffled the Magic Weekend matches around. They had a month's notice. Now even the armchair fans can't watch both, making the Pick thing pretty much meaningless here.>:(

    I disagree. Im a football and rugby league fan but the FA cup is going to win for me. Remember the tickets for the Magic weekend had been on sale weeks before the FA cup semi final. To change the date of the Hull derby would be rude to those who have booked tickets, travel and accommodation. The only way they could have done it would be to swap it with the second game on the Saturday. Even then it's affecting other clubs.

    And speak for yourself. I live in Hull and think it is great news and an amazing Super Saturday
