The NRL is considering scheduling more double-headers in Sydney and Brisbane as the success of Saturday night's event at Suncorp Stadium sparked renewed calls for a Super League-style Magic Weekend in which an entire round of matches are played at one venue.

Manly and Melbourne took home games against Brisbane and North Queensland to Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night and the sell-out crowd of 52,347 has prompted suggestions from players and officials that the Magic Weekend concept would be a hit in the NRL

The Sea Eagles, who pocketed about $350,000 for switching the match from Brookvale Oval to Brisbane, are committed to a three-year deal to play one match per season at Suncorp Stadium and were delighted with the success of the event, as was the NRL.

As a result there are now likely to be double-headers scheduled into the 2017 draw in Sydney as well as Brisbane and Manly chief executive Joe Kelly said the NRL should investigate the merits of a Magic Weekend.
