The Waicoa Bay Stallions were a franchise in the now defunct Bartercard Cup rugby league competition in New Zealand. They represented Waikato Rugby League (Wai), Coastline Rugby League (Coa) and the Bay of Plenty Rugby League (Bay). This is a vast area that includes Hamilton, Rotorua and Taupo. As a result they shared their home games around several different stadiums. The Ngongotaha Chiefs had previously represented part of this area in the competition.

[edit] Notable personnel

In their debut year they were coached by former international Tawera Nikau .

New Zealand Warriors assigned to the club included Lance Hohaia, Wairangi Koopu & Sam Rapira. The Stallions most notable local product was Isaac John.

[edit] History

The Stallions joined the competition in 2004, replacing the Taranaki Wildcats. They were not disgraced in their first year, performing well for a new club and securing four wins and two draws. However in their second season they could only manage three wins and ended up collecting the Wooden Spoon. In 2006 they missed the finals again, finishing eighth out of ten teams. In the final year of the competition, 2007, they finished seventh.
