Win Tickets to Qld Cup Grand Final!

THE QUEENSLAND Rugby League is pleased to confirm that the Queensland Wizard Cup Grand Final will again be staged at the competition?s spiritual home, Suncorp Stadium on Saturday, September 16 at 2pm.

Corporate packages for Grand Final day go on sale this Wednesday, July 26. Order forms will be available via the ?Downloads? section of www.qrl.com.au or by phoning (07) 3393 2222. Public seating will be made available in coming weeks.

This marks the third successive time since the redevelopment of the stadium, that the QRL has held its decider at the world-class facility. Grand Finals for the FOGS Cup and FOGS Colts Challenge will continue to be staged on the same drawcard.

There will be a concerted effort to deliver supporters even greater value for money than in previous years, with increased entertainment and recognition of Queensland?s current and former rugby league stars.

Season 2006 will mark the 25th time that a statewide Grand Final has been contested, harking back to when Easts won the first State League premiership in 1982 by defeating Redcliffe 23-15 at the old Lang Park.

The competition back then ran over just seven rounds and was considered secondary to the Brisbane Rugby League. The modern day version ? the Queensland Wizard Cup ? has been running since 1996 and now spans 22 rounds.

Those teams which presently fill the top five positions on the ladder ? North Queensland, Redcliffe, Toowoomba, Easts and Tweed Heads ? best display the diversity of the competition.

In that group are the competition?s most northerly, westerly and southerly clubs, the club closest to the centre of Brisbane and the Cup?s most successful club.

In 2005 the Wizard Cup grand final between North Queensland and Burleigh featured State of Origin players Matthew Scott and Adrian Vowles, as well as up-and-coming talents Gavin Cooper, Brent McConnell and Clint Amos.
