Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*

With 27 rounds already it is not feasible, but the most sensible option would be for Magic Round to be an extra round where no team is home or away.

Re: 2024 Round 11 v Bulldogs: Teams and Previews

I tell ya who should be taking a home game to Brisbane.. The Broncos. Not once yet. It's an absolute rort. It's stuff like this which reinforce how much the NRL take the piss with a couple of clubs. They don't even attempt to hide it any more. Meanwhile, other clubs take home games away to regional...
