Following the controversy last year which saw minor premiers Normanton Stingers successfully bid $10,000 to bring the grand final to Normanton – a game they lost heavily to Townies, the Stingers are not playing this season.
The North West Star has sought comment from the Normanton side but it appears they are taking part in a new competition with the last update on the Stingers Facebook page reading “With Gulf Rugby League just around the corner, Normanton Stingers training has begun.”
That means with only five teams in the draw one team will get a bye. All games at Alec Inch Oval unless Cloncurry home game stated in brackets.
