GROUP 19 INCREASES BY FOUR TEAMS

The Guyra Super Spuds hopes of playing rugby league in 2017 are over, after deciding against nominating teams for next season’s Group 19 competition.

It comes despite a strong year, where the first grade side only missed the finals by two wins.

While the Super Spuds are scratched, Group 19 is likely to still be a 10-team competition, with Armidale returning from Group 4.

Warialda, Tingha and Glen Innes have all rebuilt after a year out of the sport… and Narwan has applied to play its first season since 2006.
