Graham 2,175 Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 (edited) All the tipsters in our forum comp have gone with Knights in this opening game of the 2021 Magic Round. With Ponga out will that be enough to give Tigers’ not just a chance of a win, but the edge? Edited May 14 by Graham The Australian Rugby League Forum Link to post Share on other sites
Farmduck 3,353 Posted May 14 Author Report Share Posted May 14 Actually, I checked out the teams when I did my tips and picked the Knights on the strength of their forwards, so Pong may be irrelevant to the outcome. Quote When the NRL announced the inclusion of Magic Round in 2019, it was an overwhelming feeling of excitement, but this year there doesn't seem to be much magic in the air. Injuries, minimal fan engagement and an unfavourable draw have given us little to look forward to as Brisbane welcomes all 16 NRL clubs back this weekend after the festival-like occasion was cancelled last year due to COVID-19. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-05-14/wheres-the-magic-in-this-years-magic-round/100136788 Link to post Share on other sites
