The sixteenth annual Courier NRL Tipping Competition and Business House Challenge have begun.

Following the COVID-driven disruptions of the past season, the National Rugby League and fans across the country are looking for clear air ahead and a seamless season.

Some of the biggest NRL fans are in Narrabri Shire and 25 of them are tipsters in the 2021 Courier Readers’ Tipping Competition.

Their names were drawn from the barrel and they will go head to head each week, lodging their picks to hopefully win through to the big prize – two return air tickets to Sydney, accommodation for two nights at the luxury five star Radisson Blu boutique hotel and two premium tickets to the NRL grand final.

Alongside the Readers’ Competition, businesses will be vying for the top spot in the Business House Challenge which offers the same prize.
Twenty-one businesses are participating in the Business House Challenge this year.

And Beat the Biz is running again. Readers who are not part of the Tipping Competition are invited to submit a coupon with their tips for their chance to go up against the featured business of the week to win $50 to be spent at participating stores.

The Beat the Biz contestant must tip more correct results than the business to win.

This year’s reader tipsters include Caryn Saunders, Michael Knox, Jason Pym, Mel Stewart, Bill Chiplin, Margot Curtis, Dean Robinson, Ross Gleeson and Neil Panton, Bob Small, Melanie Robinson, Abbey Northey-Daskey, Joy Geal, Bill Prosser, Brian Fogarty, Kerrie Heiler, Norma Hill, Ronnie Dewar, Mavis Edwards, Paul McCauley, Christine McCauley, Ken Booby, Gary Laurance, Wayne Booby and David Rooney.

Good luck, tipsters!
