Mascots from all 18 NRL clubs, plus league sponsors, were involved in the race across the length of the pitch during the half time interval this weekend. From the off, the Steeden ball mascot and the racers representing Chemist Warehouse and Shapes made an electric start, but it was Melbourne Storm's mascot that soared ahead of the field.
However, a dramatic twist saw the Storm mascot denied a comfortable victory. As he approached the 10-metre line, he lost his footing and fell onto his side, allowing the Chemist Warehouse mascot to power home for victory. 'Oh my goodness!' cried out the stadium announcer.
'I can't believe it.' We just had a mascot race here. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🏉🏉🏉🏉😂😂😂 #NRLMagicRound #NRLTigersDolphins pic.
