The NRL has corrected its mistake and clarified the dates for the inaugural Magic Round after initially saying a triple-header would be held at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium next year on the same night the Queensland Reds were due to play at the venue.

NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg initially announced the Magic Round would be held on May 17-19 next year, but according to the Super Rugby 2019 fixtures, announced last Monday, the Reds were due to take on the New South Wales Waratahs on May 18 at Suncorp Stadium.

It was understood the state government only confirmed the round would be held sometime in May 2019 and the exact date would be set by the NRL after discussions with Suncorp Stadium.

“There has been some miscommunication over the availability of dates. NRL Brisbane Magic Round will occur in Round Nine of next year’s NRL Premiership from May 10-12," the NRL said in a statement on Sunday evening.
