There is ANZAC Round, Women in League Round, Indigenous Round, Magic Round, Rep Round (though no NRL teams play). There are others but am drawing a blank on some so i apologise for that, but i wish they brought back heritage round, i understand getting the old jerseys and balls are expensive but they do it for the other rounds too. Imagine having Bulldogs v Eels at Belmore, Rabbitohs v Roosters at Redfern or at SFS using old jerseys and a ball coloured to mimic the leather balls. Have the scoreboard on the screen on TV resemble the 80's. It is a pipe dream and not for some but man that would be cool to look at, it could make the round more about the specticle than the games themselves but i think it would be a round fans can get behind.

ANZAC round is wonderful, but i have heard others mentioning they feel doing the pregame for every game takes the shine off the two ANZAC day games, i cannot say i do not see where they are coming from, i do not mind it but i do not hate their opinion nor find it disrespectful. Women in league and Indigenous round are too very important rounds. But i wonder what else they can include. Country round? where each team goes to a country area and plays a game or the NRL does a magic round type of thing where they play the week at one or two venues or maybe play the Thursday/Friday game at one, Saturday at another and Sunday at a third? Grassroots needs a kick into gear and they do come out regardless of who is playing. Even do a magic round in NZ too after years of not having NRL, Eden Park is perfect.

Anyone got any great ideas? leave as is, take out some or add more?

  • I think a straight white male round 

    • I think a players with lisps round

    • ...and they could sing the national anthem 🇦🇺 

    • I think that's a good idea, on the proviso that trans straight white males are included.

      I reckon there are 2 more they could add - a Furries Round and a LARPers Round. Awesome -one week we could have fat chicks and dorks running around in bunny suits and the next week we could have fat chicks and dorks running around in medieval get up. That's living.

      • Put me down for 4 tickets please. 

      • I can think of a few teams that would do well in LARPers round, given they are pretenders...

      • Gold

    • Warriors wouldn't do to well then Wiz.

    • Bingo

  • Nepotism Round, where family members of those in high positions at the clubs can represent the team.
