And The Battle isn’t just on in Brisbane – this weekend also heralds the start of a new fight for Queensland bragging rights.

In a huge round for maroon-grown rivalries, with the Broncos colliding with the Dolphins and the Cowboys clashing with the Titans, The Courier-Mail is launching a new NRL table to keep tabs on the grudge matches that matter.

From Monday, The Courier-Mail will publish a ladder keeping track of which Queensland NRL club reigns supreme.

Each of the four clubs will be awarded four points for a victory over a Queensland rival, with a bonus point for every State of Origin-eligible Maroons player who scores a try during the match.

The Courier-Mail Cup table will be updated after each round where at least one of the rivals play each other.

So far, the Broncos are in the lead with eight points – four for their win over the Cowboys in Round 2, and four bonus points for the tries scored by Maroons-eligible players Ezra Mam (2), Kurt Capewell and Reece Walsh.

The Cowboys are on two points due to tries by Jeremiah Nanai against the Broncos.
