	Description:		On this week’s 5 Live Rugby League Podcast we shine a light on the North-East of England. The sport’s ‘Magic Weekend’ returns to the city of Newcastle in May and the area will be home to more matches at the 2021 Rugby League World Cup than any other part of the country. Newcastle Thunder are heading the push to spread the Rugby League gospel in this traditional football heartland and Matt Newsum talks to their Managing Director Mick Hogan and General Manager Jordan Robinson about the explosion of interest in the sport locally and the Thunder’s plans to win the Super League Grand Final by 2030.
