Magic Weekend 2019 - Suncorp

[horrie hastings]

Go to the rugby. Plenty of seats free.

Went to an art exhibition where a friend had a painting in, the crowd at the art exhibition would have been bigger than the crowds at the Reds match.

Gone are the days that they were averaging 30k plus!

The fans got onboard for the 2011 season when they won the comp but jumped quickly ever since. Horrid sport.

Why does Sydney deserve it every year?

Because it has the biggest available rectangular stadium in the country and the chances of a local team being involved are greater than in any other Sydney. Is that not patently obvious?

In regards to Magic Weekend, if anyone can do me a massive favour and PM me if anyone attending the Magic Weekend in Brisbane can grab some of the freebie footy card packets they're handing out I can sort you out P&H.

Hopefully the magic this weekend will be David Copperfield like rather than Amazing Mumford

This is such a poorly executed idea they are giving away tickets to Thursday night. I just got 8.
Struggling to round up crew keen enough...

I think most can agree that Thursday night will flop and even the NRL would probably admit it wasn't the best choice. From memory part of the broadcast deal came into play but I can't remember exactly what.

Even then I don't know that it makes the entire concept poorly executed.

Where can you get free tickets?

I think the fact they are giving away free tickets is great. Maybe they will start doing that for all Thursday night games. Open the gates.

The best thing about Magic Weekend is it takes games out of Sydney. We need to try to find a way to halve the amount of RL games in Sydney. I mean listen to Penrith fans, sounds like they would not even travel 20 minutes to watch their team play at the best new stadium in the country.

They should be handing them out to all junior clubs, but even then, none would be used on a Thursday.

It would make more sense to take it to Melbourne than Brisbane. Both cities can only support 1 team but Melbourne has a ground with far greater capacity.

I think it's arguable Brisbane can only support one team, but that aside, using the MCG for Magic Round would be ridiculous. I wouldn't even agree with Etihad tbh.

With the HUGE divets the players were digging up in the Ponies - Sharks game at Suncorp a couple of weeks back, I'm glad the Sharks are on Thursday night. The ground will be truly fooked by Saturday night.

Lol! What a surprise!

Honestly we know that Queensland is a proud Rugby League state we see that every time the Broncos play at Suncorp Stadium, My question is if the NRL really want to promote Rugby League why not play magic round in Adelaide...

Yeah I’d like to extend my congratulations to Harry and Meaghan on their 1st born. Children truly are a blessing.

Soooooo excited for them!!!
