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.
1. The 'Toilet Bowl'
The 1983 football match between Oregan State and Oregan was College Football's last scoreless tie. Widely regarded as one of the worst games in the sport's history.
While it makes for a good heading, the Newcastle Knights v Canterbury Bulldogs should be worth watching.
Along with the Gold Coast Titans and Wests Tigers, the two teams sit on four points at the bottom of the table after winning only two of their nine games. Looking to jump-start their seasons, both teams will be desperate for a win.
Both teams have fairly easy opponents following this weekend. The Bulldogs will face the Tigers and St George Illawarra Dragons, while the Knights take on the Brisbane Broncos and New Zealand Warriors followed by a bye.
The Bulldogs are currently the betting favourite, but this one could go either way. Unless it's a top of the table clash, the best kind of footy involves desperate teams - and these two teams are craving wins. While the names might not excite you, I think this one will be a nail biter.
