QRL / ISC "Magic Weekend" possibility

[The Partisan]

Saw an article in Gold Coast Bulletin during the week regarding a ISC version of the Super League 'Magic Weekend' with all teams playing out of one ground (Suncorp Stadium mentioned) over the two days.

Don't mind the idea but it would need a lot of marketing and advertising to get the crowd there, along with plenty of notice for those considering making it a weekend away from CQ/NQ/PNG.

Thoughts ?

PLANS TO BRING ISC’S OWN MAGIC ROUND TO LIFE
INTRUST Super Cup powerbrokers are toying with the idea of adding their own ‘Magic Round’ to the rugby league calendar as soon as next year.The initiative has proven popular in England and will be implemented at NRL level next year,

Stuff the new Lang Park for the local footy...play it at Redcliffe or Coorparoo

The issue of addressing lost 'home game revenue' was mentioned in the article and so wherever it is played some kind shared revenue (or costs ?) would have to be put in place I would imagine.

Personally I'd rather something like a Rivalry Round Double / Triple Header but one in the north and one in the south of the state.

NQ @ Cowboys Home Ground - Sat night Blackhawks v Pride; Cutters v Capras

SQ @ Titans Home Ground -

Sat arvo / evening - PNG v Sunshine Coast; Ipswich v Souths Logan; Redcliffe v Norths,

Sunday arvo - Wynnum v Easts; Burleigh v Tweed.

Hi, i suggested years ago for the centenary year that we have a full weekend of games at the RNA grounds, historically important and would be sensational with a rugby league reunion, training camps, association and supplier expo etc. All q cup clubs and brl clubs and combine it with a long weekend.

Thought I'd piggyback on the zeitgeist of the moment happening with the NRL Magic Weekend and revive this thread !

Still think they should give this a shot
