Mackay Cutters
The Mackay Cutters RLFC are a semi-professional rugby league football club founded in 2007 based in Mackay, Queensland. They, along with the Northern Pride, will be one of two expansion teams for the 2008 season of the Queensland Cup. Their home ground will be at the Mackay & District Junior Rugby League grounds in Mackay. The Labor government also made a pre-election promise to upgrade the stadium at the JRL grounds to the tune of $8 million. The Cutters act as a feeder club to the North Queensland Cowboys, who play in the National Rugby League.
The new club have no ties to the Mackay Sea Eagles, Mackay's Foley Shield representative side, which competed in the 1996 and 1997 Queensland Cup seasons.
