"Again, we play Sydney teams twice like Penrith and Dogs as they are rivals and draw big ratings. It so happens those two are really good at the moment so makes the draw look worse. Same with Souths and Roosters playing twice, Brisbane playing all…"
"Yeah like the NRL want us to suffer like Tigers. Channel 9 have that Magic Round game and honestly. Again let's say we are a top 4 team quality you would get same draw and think "what a good draw"

"There is supposed to be a level of balance here, but we seem to get most of the top 8 trams twice every year. The aim is to win as many games as we can, but the draws make this hard to achieve. "

looks like we also changed our emblem lol
So we finally rid ourselves of the dreaded Darwin home game and replace it with a home game against the storm in Brisbane, great work by the club.
Hkf im pretty sure in the previous three magic rounds you'll find that we've been the ones who benefited by playing other team's home games there
This isn't replacing Darwin mate, its an annual thing where sometimes you have to give up a home match.
It has nothing to do with the club or Darwin
This has replaced Darwin Chiefy. The club has agreed a 5yr deal to take a home game to Magic Round until the end of 2030, with the other 11 home games taking place at CommBank.
Are you being serious?
If so, it really equates to taking two or at the most 3 home games away from Commbank.
The reason is every team must take games away from their home games to magic round and also Vegas. Its just the luck of the draw
Also, its said that Parramatta have a big following in Brisbane, so taking two home games there in 5 years is a better result than taking 5 games to Woop Woop because we're going to Brisbane in any case
So this is a very smart decision by the club who'll not only benefit financially, but actually gain home matches
It's not nailed on that we're taking a home game to Magic Round for 5 years. The club is very interested in having a home game played in Vegas.
The club will maintain 11 home games at CommBank per season though.
Oh you can bet the club had something to do with it as there is a financial benefit to playing your home game in Brisbane for magic round.
HKF, the club announced in July that they would still only play 11 home games at CommBank. With 1 still going elsewhere. Looks like moving forward it will be Magic Round, It is not the end of the world, the club gets great financial kicks out of this.
The club agreed to take a home game to Magic Round yes, however we get no say on who the opponent is. Blame the NRL / AI. Magic Round 2026 will see Parra play the Storm and Roosters play North Queensland for the 3rd time since Magic Round began in 2019.
It's going to be a horror draw for us you can tell, we already know we play storm twice away, we will get panthers twice, broncos twice, knights only once in Newcastle.
Yep. And the club will thank Abdo and co for it too. I don't get this club sometimes.
