Magic Round is one of the NRL's greatest promotions. With every team, every game all at one ground.
It doesn't get much better than that.
Here are a few little things to make your Magic Round a bit more exciting. Something for you to look for while you're watching the footy, or a reason to watch a game you wouldn't normally tune into.
2. Cody Walker to find form
It's no surprise that an Adam Reynolds-led Brisbane Broncos 32-12 victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohsย has seen Cody Walker's name in the media.
There is no doubt that Cody Walker has failed to lead the Rabbitohs to where they wanted to be in Reynolds' absence. However, that has more to do with expectations rather than what Walker's game is. He has always been a player who works off the back of his halfback.
With a 22-year-old halfback beside him, Walker has had to take more of a commanding role and so far in 2022, the Rabbitohs have failed to excel. The magic of Magic Round might just be what Walker needs.
He has to play at a Dally M level, as he did last season, if the Rabbitohs are any hope of contending for a premiership this year, whether Latrell Mitchell returns or not. A game against the Warriors, who couldn't beat 11 men last week, could be just what he needs to get into his groove.
An in-form Cody Walker is must-see TV.
