Rugby league in Queensland From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1982 Winfield State League was the inaugural season of the Queensland Rugby League's statewide competition. The competition was run similarly to the NSWRL's Amco Cup, featuring a short format prior the larger Brisbane Premiership season. The Easts Tigers won the title with a 23-15 win over Redcliffe in the final at Lang Park in Brisbane.
A total of 14 teams competed in the inaugural season, 8 of which were BRL Premiership clubs. The remaining six were regional teams from across the state, hence the State League name.
