Brisbane has been inundated with footy-kit wearing fans this weekend. 

Magic Round has flooded the city with dedicated fans repping their teams and eager to see the wins and losses all in one place.  

NRL legend and coach of the incoming Perth Bears, Mal Meninga told Piney the weekend is a happy festival – there's less focus on the adversarial nature of the competition, instead people are just having a good time. 

He says that having it collectively in one spot is excellent, and having it in Brisbane is even better, as Queensland is the hub of rugby league globally.
