After getting a taste in 2019, fans finally have the second instalment of Magic Round with a host of mouth-watering clashes, all at the one venue.

Fans of all 16 clubs will pack into Suncorp for three days of footy, heaven for most, to watch every star in our game light it up.

While there'll be 272 players running around on the pitch, more if any 18th men get activated, but there's some that'll stand above others.

The superstars, fighting it out to be THE star of the Magic Round. There's no magic without magicians, and every club has at least one at their club, waiting for their moment to shine, pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Here's who'll light it up this weekend, wand in hand.

Newcastle Knights

Kurt Mann

Kurt Mann sure is magic alright, he's a shapeshifter. Whether you need him in the halves, at hooker, fullback, the centres, even a roaming lock, he'll fit the mould, and excel. He's the glue that every team needs, especially when the side is missing three-quarters of their full-strength spine.

Missing their main magic man in Kalyn Ponga, who's step on Kieran Foran at the last Magic Round still makes highlight reels, and means that Mann will once again have to step up in the absence of a star. He'll need to reach deep into his bag of tricks to set up this win.
