Magic Round is a special event in rugby league where all teams play in one location. It precedes the State of Origin series, a major inter-state competition.

What's been your highlight of Magic Round so far, Mick?

- Roger

G'day Roger.

I thought the Cowboys win over the Roosters was one of the best, if not the best, game of this season.

But I am thrilled to be at Lang Park today.

The Warriors-Broncos clash is going to have a tremendous atmosphere — I think it will be a Warriors home game, judging by the number of Wahs jerseys I saw around the stadium.

These are the final three matches before State of Origin selection is announced tomorrow.

If rumours are to be believed, Reece Walsh may not be the Queensland fullback, and Kalyn Ponga could be the Maroons halfback.

The NSW side also has spots up for grabs, especially in the forwards, with the change in eligibility meaning some players are now available for selection.

One of the best parts of Magic Round is going jersey-spotting but before a ball is kicked in Brisbane the Titans have already cleaned up via their Chargers-inspired retro strip.

Todd Payten said his side's victory over the Roosters was "as good a win as I've had" with the club as Melbourne notched back-to-back wins after a messy 34-8 victory over Parramatta and the Sea Eagles thrash Wests Tigers in Magic Round at Lang Park.

Norway's Viral Viking Row: The Story Behind the World Cup Fan Sensation

Ole Frøystad, nicknamed "Mr Row Row," invented Norway's viral Viking row chant, inspired by medieval history and a Norwegian football club's chant. The simple yet energetic chant involves sitting, drumming, pulling imaginary oars, and shouting "ro" (Norwegian for row), building to a frenzy. It has become a major fan sensation at the World Cup, with spontaneous renditions appearing globally and even players like Erling Haaland embracing it as "bigger than football."
