Stadium upgrade its out of action for a few years

No mate, they’ve pushed back the Reno’s 12 months. The SC Falcons confirmed this a few months ago. But the Dolphins didn’t play up there in 2024 either…

UPDATE: We’ll be open for another year | Sunshine Coast Stadium

Due to a delay in awarding the construction delivery contract for the Sunshine Coast Stadium upgrade, early works are now expected to start from mid-late 2025.

Easter is 4-7 Apr in 2026.

Reckon you can lock Parra in for Vegas 2026 with the home ground out of action for the first 3 weeks.

Probably be the best time to go.

With AFL 'Opening Round' taking place on March 6-9, I am hoping NRL are sensible and have Storm play at home in round 1 again to make the most of it.

That's good news for them

It should be on the Sunday as the following Monday will the Labour Day public holiday in Victoria to get maximum local interest. Something similar should be done for Queensland's Labour Day Weekend in May

Every year there's something on at Accor in March that takes precedence over the footy. Adele, Monster Trucks, whatever. We seem to miss out on the early season crowd buzz (save for Good Friday), and play the bulk of our footy there in and around the Origin period when no-one cares.

You can write off 2026 as well with the AFC Women’s soccer comp on 1-21 March, Accor and Commbank are both confirmed as venues

I expected the draw this week based on previous years.

Titans get screwed first round. No games in QLD is not necessarily a bad thing in March
