With an easing of COVID restrictions this year, Queensland rugby league fans will once again have the chance to watch Queensland’s premier rugby league competition, the Intrust Super Cup.
Here’s why you should go along to a game this season.
The clubs
The Intrust Super Cup is stacked full of historic clubs, many of whom (particularly in the greater Brisbane region) have ambitions of joining the top flight of football.
Junior (4-16): $70
Brisbane Roar have decided to move their 13 home matches this season to Dolphin Oval, Redcliffe which is about a 40-minute drive from the centre of Brisbane and about an hour-and-a-half on public transport.
The atmosphere at the boutique stadium, which holds just over 11,000 people, is considered to be better than an often less-than half-full Suncorp Stadium, however it will be interesting to see whether the change causes a drop in members or attendance.
At $15 a game for an adult, Roar are offering one of the cheaper entry level price points in the league.
However, they haven’t been helped by the fixture list; with every match they play at home between December and March - the hottest months of the year in Brisbane - kicking off some time between 3pm and 6pm.
