Great Dane:
1. You admitted it will be a big success the first time, but will wear off by the 5th year. You a probably right. But that’s no reason not to do it the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time! The Indigenous All stars got tired. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t a good idea to begin with!
There is a positive and negative reaction to everything, and their will be unforeseen consequences to this concept.
I mean the whole concept is to take away for others to give to Brisbane, that in of it's self isn't a good idea, for example I'm sure that you'll be happy when the number of games played on the road in places like Cairns, Perth, etc, decreases because of this...
2. You have no proof it’s connected to the stadiums decision. It’s been talked about for years
Except that all the articles on it say otherwise-
When the NRL Grand Final was locked into Sydney until 2042, the Queensland Government turned its attention to the ‘Magic Week’ concept with economic benefits estimated at close to $20 million.

"The Queensland government financially backed it after missing out on the grand final."

It's a f##king political olive branch, and you know it is!
3. There is no proof it will stay in Brisbane forever. I think it will go to the highest bidder, like Origin.
Well the Daily Telegraph thinks it's a "NRL Magic round a multi-year boost for Brisbane", I can't read the article cause I'm not a member but I'd be very, very surprised if the Queensland government agreed to fund this on a one year deal, it'll be at least a 3 year deal unless they are the stupidest government in the country...
Here's the article maybe you or somebody else can read it or quote it for us plebs-

4. You’re right, it’s the regional clubs complaining. With no suggestion yet they’ll be the ones to lose games. Whinging got zero reason
BS!
It's inevitable that given time this magic weekend will effect them, their is no way that the Sydney clubs will be willing to "host" all the games every year, and they'll complain about it being unfair straight away (and they'll have every right to mind you).
Plus knowing the NRL's scheduling skills like we do they'll probably make all the "regional clubs" the home teams for the games anyway...
5. Why the hell would it change crowds in Canberra or Townsville? Who claimed that? It will likely boost the average crowd for that weekend and thus the NRL overall.
Are you serious!
For a start if they have to host one of the games it'll necessitate that one of their crowds won't be in Canberra or Townsville and in Brisbane instead, that seems like it might change crowds in Canberra and Townsville to me, lol.
It'll also effect the value of their memberships if one of their games are taken away, either they'll have to reduce the value of them cause they are only selling 11 matches instead of 12 (or however many as the case may be) or they'll charge the same price for less, either way there are going to be people (particularly the less well off and those with families) who'll say 'f##k it I won't get a membership this year' or "I'll get one of the three game memberships this year", because of it and that will directly effect crowds in those clubs cities and their bottom lines.
Anyway this has been fun but I don’t want to hold you up. I’m sure you have some clouds to yell at.
Have fun at solving a problem that doesn't really exist by creating 50 more...
