Sounds like a plan, just hold a sign up saying bald merkins meet here.

"bald merkins" is an LU thing, they'll know where you are from

Has anyone else started to use the term Merkin in the real world? It subconsciously crept into my vocabulary a while ago.. always get the strangest looks when I use it

Yeah. I’ve corrupted a shit load of people into using it. Actually, maybe just a few people…shit load is an exaggeration.

I wonder if they would think about making magic round actually 2 rounds.

So all teams converge on Brisbane for 2 rounds and the team & fans stay up there for a week.

Brisbane tourism would get behind this.

Give it a catchy name.

The Ezra Mam festival of footy

Any accommodation is maxed out at $850 and anyone who doesnt have a drivers licence is allowed to drive.

Brisbane will never feel more alive.

Could play all 26 rounds up there. Give it a catchy name like The Qld cup

Anyway.
When I get away from the family and get my mojo back / "recharge", these are the ideas I often come up with.
When I think about RL/NRL (as I do occasionally) I am often coming from the position of "how can NRL take advantage of its competitive advantages better" - or "ram home its advantages" as it were.
One advantage NRL has over its big competitor who will remain nameless is NRL can in fact do magic rounds whereas the other as I see it cannot. How would we "ram that advantage home" - well, f**kin, double it. Make it 2 weekends, make the clubs actually stay up there a week.

Another advantage is our women's version as it turns out is easily better as a specticle than the women's version of our main competitors. We should be looking to "ram that advantage" as well. Somehow.

Not that anyone asked.

They should move it to Parra and call it the Eelympics round.
