Given the success of the NRL Magic Round, I believe it's time for this wonderful event to be held in other cities aside from Brisbane. Please find below my business case for this idea:


1. Promoting Rugby League Across the Country​

  • Expanding the Fan Base: Holding the Magic Round in different cities can attract new fans and promote the sport in areas where rugby league may not be as popular.
  • Grassroots Development: Exposure to high-level games can inspire young players in various regions, encouraging grassroots development and participation in rugby league.

2. Economic Benefits for Other Cities​

  • Tourism Boost: Hosting the Magic Round brings in thousands of visitors, boosting local tourism, hospitality, and retail sectors.
  • Local Economy: Increased spending in the host city can benefit local businesses and create temporary jobs.

3. Showcasing Different Cities​

  • National Exposure: The event provides an excellent platform to showcase the host city to a national and international audience, highlighting its attractions and amenities.
  • City Branding: Cities can leverage the event to enhance their brand as vibrant, sports-loving destinations.

4. Avoiding Stagnation​

  • Event Freshness: Rotating the location prevents the event from becoming stale and repetitive, maintaining excitement and novelty each year.
  • Inclusive Experience: Different regions and their rugby league communities can experience the thrill of the Magic Round, making it a more inclusive national event.

5. Logistical and Practical Benefits​

  • Spreading the Load: Different cities have different capacities and facilities. Rotating the event can help distribute the logistical load and avoid overburdening a single city.
  • Facility Utilization: Many cities have excellent stadiums and infrastructure that can be utilized effectively for such large-scale events.

6. Enhanced Media Coverage​

  • Broader Media Reach: Hosting in different locations can attract varied media coverage, reaching a more diverse audience and generating more widespread interest in the sport.
  • Local Media Engagement: Local media in the host city will likely provide extensive coverage, further promoting the event and the sport.

7. Community Engagement and Legacy​

  • Local Engagement: The excitement of hosting a major event can engage the local community, fostering a sense of pride and connection to rugby league.
  • Long-term Legacy: Investments made for hosting the event, such as improvements in facilities and infrastructure, can leave a lasting legacy for the host city.
By rotating the NRL Magic Round among various Australian cities, the league can promote rugby league more effectively, drive economic and social benefits across the country, and maintain the event's vibrancy and appeal.

No, Magic Round is getting bigger every year in Brisbane and the Suncorp/ Caxton St combo gives it the perfect festival atmosphere.

Besides, there is another Magic Round style event growing in Vegas, NRLW will have their own Magic Round one day. Leave it in Brisbane as it works perfectly and build new events.

The points also make no sense.

'Spreading the Load'

The whole idea of magic round is to concentrate a weekend's worth of games in a single stadium.

Why should any host city want to 'share"
