I believe they do count exits. But it’s just that they count if you were in the ground at any point during the game.
so in a 3 game magic round, most will still be in the ground at kick off for game 3

Please stay on topic and don’t resort to personal insults. It was a deliberately extreme example (called hyperbole) to illustrate the point.
Rain didn't look as bad today. Pitch brought a nostalgic tear to my eye. Like watching English RL in December back in the day.
I don't give a pass for it at the big stadiums honestly (suburban grounds are a lot worse in heavy rain and cases like Wolongong where the hill was closed are the exception), but I've been to at least half a dozen games at Suncorp in the last 3 years where the rain was coming in sideways and was that heavy I was about to give Noah a call to start construction on the second ark, yet there were 40k in attendance.
Totally Workwear Stadium is too small in my opinion. I like the ambition of playing Magic Round at a ground like Newcastle, Wollongong, or Townsville. The problem is scheduling the event so it has some free air from the NRL.
While I tend to agree, it's contracted to the NSW Government for 25, 26 and 27. It won't be going to Langlands until at least 2028.
My issue with a venue like Totally Workwear Stadium is it's so small. The venue's capacity is supposedly 3,500, though the sold out games there have never gone anywhere near it (Broncos v Sharks SF was 2,327, Broncos v Roosters this year was 1,924), so whilst the event would sell out quickly, there are a lot of people who would miss out.
Kayo stadium??
All evidence to the contrary.
not a lot of corporate boxes at Kayo but if you dangle it at the dolphins so they move one of their mens games to Suncorp that would normally be played there, it might be a decent option.
It's a good stadium at 12k close to a big population base. Might sell out and look good for TV
Hopefully the NRLW becomes the curtain raiser for NRL fixtures. Mens Magic round at Suncorp with free tickets to NRLW at East Tigers stadium. The Men and boys go and watch NRL while the Mums and girls go across the river to watch the NRLW.
Weather forecast looks like could be a wet and rainy Saturday. A shame, as if were clear night (and the Warriors not on tilt) this one could have been 50,000. Think it will be low 30,000s.
