oosters coach Trent Robinson summed it up. “I had a bit of a chuckle to myself on the circus that our game is.” He was speaking on Friday an hour before kick-off of Magic Round this year, and specifically about Gold Coast’s David Fifita cooling off on his move to the Roosters.
Magic Round is only five years old and the traditions are still emerging. This year it had, for the first time ever,. The ratings for the first Women’s State of Origin the previous night landed on Friday morning. An average of 941,000 tuned into the broadcast, with the NRL proudly announcing Channel Nine’s audience was higher than free-to-air viewership for any NRL match this season.
But within hours the bluster has subsided. By dinner time, both parties issued statements saying they had resolved their differences, and were “aligned” in their vision. The dispute appeared largely theatrics, but – like so much of the V’Landys craft – it got people talking. And on Friday evening he flagged a decision on expansion – including possibly more than one side – might come as soon as two to three weeks, “if the balls fall into place”.
