Queensland Cup Draw for 2017 Intrust Super Cup season Released

Good news as the Queensland Cup Draw for 2017 has been released, and time to get those pencils and calendars ready for what will no doubt be a big season ahead.

Some say it is second best, at best, they haven’t been to a game and shame on them. With the future changes, it will be bigger and better from next season.

With the focus turning to the Queensland Cup and NSW equivalent from 2018 after the Under 20 competition has been dropped in favour of the second tier competitions, it is time to get on board before it gets famous.

Below we have some of the highlights to look out for if you can only get to a game or two, and a full Queensland Cup draw for the connoisseurs of the local football.

Don’t forget, Queensland Cup is the only chance to see rugby league on a Sunday afternoon in Brisbane. Unlike the NRL which seems to be the possession of Sydney.

Also unlike the NRL, the Queensland Cup kicks off in 2017 with a Grand Final replay in the first round on TV. But the QRL are much better at giving punters what they want, and sharing the TV games around.
