Good afternoon Magic fans and welcome to day two of the NRL’s festival of fun in Brisbane.
My name is Simon Smale and I am with you here at Lang Park all afternoon, into the evening and through the night as we enjoy three games of footy in the Sunshine State.
We’ll start with Wests Tigers vs Manly Warringah at 3:00pm, a game rich in potential given how the Sea Eagles are playing at the moment, especially if the Tigers can rediscover their bite.
After that, from 5:30pm, we’ll get straight into the Roosters against the Cowboys, which could be the game of the day truth be told.
Then, to wrap things up, we’ll have the Eels and the Storm from 7:45pm going at it in a clash between 14th and 15th on the ladder – hands up if you had that pop up in your crystal ball at the start of the year.
As I write this it is currently sunny, but I have no doubt that will change given the ominous look of the clouds around the place as I came in on the bus – but even a dubious forecast can’t dampen the enthusiasm for another full slate of rugby league for your Saturday afternoon, so welcome.
