Magic Weekend 2019 - Suncorp

[billygilmore]

They should do this for Origin, all 3 games over one weekend, get it out the way to get on with the comp quickly

 

[T-Boon]

FMD, you are in the top 5 ‘LU Pot Plants’ for 2018 awards list, well done.

F-You. I am number one in this category.

 

[T-Boon]

Since it’s in Brisbane, why not Super League heritage round paying homage to the shit the Broncos created in the mid-90’s

Pretty good idea.

 

[T-Boon]

You ‘think’ there was 2 double headers this year??

How many was there then - 3?

 

[Lambretta]

So what will the crowds be like
Packed on the Friday Night when the Broncos play
Empty on Saturday and Sunday?

Or can the Broncos play on every day to boost the crowds?

Mothers day on the Sunday...Throw in 3rd day on the piss for those that travel up. 20k on day 3 is a good achievement

Depends how they schedule it. St's, Storrm, Souths, Warriors can all draw a crowd in Brisbane, Add in NQ and Titans and as long as they schedule sensibly we should get 30k most days. Throw in a discount for more than one day tickets for the cheap seats.

 

[Differ To The Coifed]

Interesting if it rains all week. But I suppose the NRL think they control that too.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Lol, defer to the coiffed brah.

 

[shiznit]

My god we follow an amatuer sport sometimes.

FMD, how hard would it have been to run a check on the reds schedule before coming out with your press release.

To be fair... who the f**k would have even noticed the Reds super rugby draw for next season was announced...

I really do hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Rugby Australia calling the NRL 'embarrassing' will do me. Yes, the NRL are capable of some monumental f**k ups (and this is another) but at least they have a product.

I am probably going to go up for the weekend
I may even make it a weeks holiday and visit friends on the Sunshine Coast while I am there
Depends on school etc

If there are discount tickets for multiple days that would be the best option for me

 

[Timbo]

It may be a much lower drawing sport, but Super Rugby always announces their draw ages in advance. It really shouldn't be a shock given we share all four of their stadiums.

Just amateur hour from the NRL.

Truth teller.

Except if phil speaks truth..it's broncos not the city of brisbane who killed crushers. ..according to lu most of brisbane hates broncos so why ignore those fans. I understand his concern..i mean theres only 100 plus games a season in Sydney for fans to latch on to. ..us people in seq should be grateful for the dregs we get.

That would considerably boost eight teams season crowd average. There could be a fight between teams, to be named the home team that weekend.

What they should do, since they are going ahead with this idea, is add an extra round so that the magic weekend isn't anyone's home or away game.

Yes and no. It's normally out before NRL and AFL but this is the earliest it's been out from memory.

I find it interesting the most vocal group of people (both fanbase and management) has been Penrith fans.

Now why might that be?
