Different sort of working day today, previewing the Super League Magic Weekend at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Big thanks to BBC Radio Merseyside for allowing me to borrow a space to record the Knights press conference.

And suddenly in the @NRL there are no penalties for ‘disruptors’ in bomb contests and hardly any set restarts.
The #NRL must’ve learnt its lessons after the blowout debacles at #MagicWeekend.
And lo and behold we have a decent contest at Stadium Australia.
#NRLBulldogsStorm.
#OTD in 2017, Fartown kept us their excellent #magicweekend record with a close fought 16-10 win over fellow bottom 4 side Catalans at Newcastle.
Tries from Gaskell, O'Brien and Rapira and 3 goals from loanee Martin Ridyard sealed the points

The collapse of @NRL_Bulldogs is partly a return to the mean. But Ciraldo & Gould got ahead of themselves last year. They ruined a winning formula to chase a quick win with Galvin. They're killing his career. And the rest of the team have become soft. That try! #magicweekend
So that would be the end of loop fixtures? What role for MagicWeekend? What happens to Salford? The merging of championship and league one needs serious thinking as it could bankrupt clubs?
What an amazing final total 👏
Huge thank you to everyone at @Betfred, the try scorers, the @SuperLeague teams involved and the whole rugby league community.
Yet again you've proved how incredible you are supporting our fight against #MND.

There's been a lot of talk about #MagicWeekend this weekend, but there's been lots going on in the Championship too!
The top two sides both dropped points this weekend and the table has got even tighter! 🥁
