The South Sydney Rabbitohs will be hoping that Magic Round can help them produce some magic of their own, as they seek to move out of the basement on the NRL ladder and claim their second win of the season.
The team will come up against the North Queensland Cowboys during the three-day Brisbane-based NRL festival, a team that is also in dire need of a win.
In a milestone game for star Jack Wighton, can South Sydney find some form, or will their tenure with the wooden spoon continue?

How many games has Jack Wighton played?
Magic Round will be an extra special occasion for Wighton this season, with the Rabbitohs' centre set to play his 250th NRL game.
242 of these games came while he was a star for the Canberra Raiders, where he spent the first 12 years of his career, with the eighth game of his Rabbitohs career bringing him up to the milestone.
Wighton has packed a lot of success into his 250 games in the NRL, winning the Dally M medal in 2020, and the Clive Churchill medal the season before.
He has also represented both his country and NSW in State of Origin multiple times, although he has committed to retiring from representative football in recent years.
