    • 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 

      • 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. 

  • Have we ever won a MR game? All I can remember are defeats and some truly bad ones.

  • I just alway find it funny that it is in Brisbane and yet it is an away game for them each year. The NRL couldn't give the Broncos any more of a leg up. 

  • We played Tigers R2 then again R7 last year and I don't seem to remember anyone sooking then.

  • Irrelevant we loose at magic round no matter who we play wed loose to the bye.

    I think we've won once at magic round
