Tigers and Magic Round

[zowieben]

Since Magic Round started in 2019, the Tigers have taken their home game to Brisbane 6 times,
NZ 7 times, Easts 6 times. Brisbane have given up 1 home game, St George none, Newcastle 1 ,
Nth Qld none. I looked at home games in 2025 and 2024 and unless I have made a mistake, we had 11 home games and 13 away,
so it seems that todays game against Manly counts as a home game, even though we play in Brisbane.
So why has the NRL given a leg up to Brisbane, Newcastle and St George whilst disadvantaging Tigers, NZ and Easts?
Surely if you give up a home game 1 year, you should play an away game the following year?

Clubs can lodge so many preferences with the NRL before the draw is created, this is one of ours

So we take our game v Manly from Leichardt to Brisbane, play Parra at their home game and play Penrith at Parra's ground. I thought to play in the semis would be preferable to the extra cash.

It’s a byproduct of playing at Leichhardt and ctown, we don’t make enough money so we have to sell a game to Magic round to get funds back

At the risk of offending people it is just that HBG want to own the toy but not pay for it,they have always been cheapskates and still are even if all the players are paid for by the NRL.
No other club seem to be as frugal as ours.
