Brisbane is locked in as the home of the NRL's Magic Round for the next two years and despite heavy rain, near-capacity crowds are expected at Suncorp ...

"Why wouldn't it be very popular in other markets down the track?" "Suncorp Stadium is the only place for Magic Round and it's very exciting that the magic will continue beyond this weekend."

The NRL would no doubt hope that this year's event is remembered for moments of on-field brilliance rather than carnage left in its wake, as has been the case in its two previous iterations. While the weekend in Brisbane acts as a circuit breaker to the early part of the season, it also represents a significant juncture in the premiership race.
