The 2014 Mackay Cutters season was the seventh in the club's history. Coached by Kim Williams and captained by Tyson Martin, they competed in the QRL's Intrust Super Cup.[1] The club were unable to defend their premiership, finishing ninth and missing the finals.

Season summary

[edit]

The Cutters faced an uphill struggle to win back-to-back premierships after losing a number of their 2013 Grand Final-winning side. Tyson Andrews, Bureta Faraimo and Matt Minto were all signed by NRL clubs, captain Jardine Bobongie returned to local rugby league, while North Queensland Cowboys players Michael Morgan and Jason Taumalolo became regular first graders. Tyson Martin returned to the club full-time after being released by the Cowboys and was named the club's captain.

The Cutters won 11 of their 24 games, finishing ninth. Cowboys-contracted fullback Zac Santo was named the club's Player of the Year at the end of the season.[2]
