2008 was the first competitive season for the Cairns based CRGT Northern Pride Rugby League Football Club. They were one of 11 clubs that played in the thirteenth season of Queensland's top rugby league competition, QRL's Wizard Queensland Cup.
The Northern Pride and Mackay Cutters were two new teams that entered the competition in 2008.[1] Mackay hadn't hosted a team since the Mackay Sea Eagles played the 1996 season, while Cairns was represented by the Cairns Cyclones from 1996 to 2000. The two new clubs replaced the Aspley Broncos and North Queensland Young Guns, who withdrew from the competition.[2] With the loss of the Young Guns, the North Queensland Cowboys formed new feeder club partnerships with the Cutters and Pride.[3]
The original coach was Adrian Lam, who had been captain of the PNG Kumuls, had represented Queensland at State of Origin, and played halfback for the Sydney Roosters and Wigan Warriors. Lam arrived in Cairns in August 2007 while the Pride's bid to enter the QCup competition was being prepared, but was released a month later to take up a coaching position at the Sydney Roosters.[4] He was replaced by Northern Pride's foundation coach, Andrew Dunemann, who had played five-eighth and hooker for the Gold Coast Seagulls, North Queensland Cowboys, South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Canberra Raiders in the NRL, and the Halifax Blue Sox, Leeds Rhinos and Salford City Reds in the English Super League. He had also coached the Canberra Raiders Under-20s team, and turned down an assistant coaching position at Halifax RLFC to coach in Cairns.[5]
The two assistant coaches were David Maiden and Troy Cummings. Maiden was a rugby league international who represented Scotland in the 2000 World Cup, was a foundation player for the North Queensland Cowboys in the NRL, and played lock and centre for Gateshead Thunder and Hull F.C. in the English Super League, and the Cairns Cyclones in the Queensland Cup, and was currently the Junior Development Officer for the North Queensland Cowboys and General Manager of the CDRL. Cummings played lock for CDRL Mareeba Gladiators, and played for and coached the Cairns Marlins in the Foley Shield.[6][7]
Foundation captain was Chris Sheppard, who had played halfback for the North Queensland Cowboys and St. George Illawarra Dragons.[8] Fullback Chey Bird was appointed captain in Rounds 13 and 14, and in the finals series when 'Shep' was injured or unavailable, and prop Ben Laity was captain for Round 15. Lock Warren Jensen was captain for the first pre-season trial at Yarrabah.
'Shep' was the first player signed to the Pride, followed by local players Hezron Murgha and Noel Underwood from CDRL Yarrabah Seahawks, Kahu Wehi and Ritchie Marsters from Tully Tigers, Alex Starmer from Ivanhoes Knights, and Jason Roos from Mareeba Gladiators. The Chief Executive Officer and Commercial Manager visited Port Moresby to sign PNG players, but the Pride were unable to get work visas for the pair to enter Australia.
The Northern Pride played ten home games and ten away games over 22 rounds between March and August, and three games in the finals series. Their inaugural match was a home game, played at Barlow Park, Cairns, when the Pride scored eight tries, beating newcomers Mackay Cutters 44–16.[9] Eleven North Queensland Cowboys played this match (three for the Pride and eight for the Cutters). The match itself was something of a debacle, as the pitch was a rain-drenched mud-pit and coach Dunemann wanted the game called off. Pride officials turned spectators, match officials, caterers and security officers away, claiming the match was cancelled, but QRL insisted the game proceed.[10]
The Pride won their first seven games, before their first defeat in Round 8, when they lost 34–4 to Tweed Heads Seagulls.[11] Injuries dogged the team in the middle of the season, and Rugby League Week magazine predicted the newcomers would finish towards the bottom of the table. The Pride lost the last three matches of the regular season, but still finished in third place, having won 13 of their 20 games.[12] They reached the Preliminary Final, but lost in golden point extra-time to the Souths Logan Magpies, who went on to win the Grand Final.[13]
Six of the Pride's away games were televised on ABC 1. There were calls for the ABC to expand their outside broadcasting abilities and televise a Pride home game next season.
The Pride's office was at Mann Street in Westcourt and the team trained at Jones Park. In June 2008 the Pride purchased CDRL Kangaroos Leagues Club and Vico Oval, Irene Street, Mooroobool from the Redcliffe Dolphins in June 2008 for $1.85m (the Dolphins having purchased the Oval and Leagues Club from the Kangaroos in 2005 when Kangaroos were in financial difficulty). The playing field was renamed as Pride Oval, and the end of season Player Awards ceremony was held at the rebranded Pride Leagues Club.[14] The facility was to be used as an administration and training base, there were plans for a multi-million dollar development and for the Pride junior teams to play there. Six weeks later, however, the project was put on hold as the Pride faced financial uncertainty after chairman O'Brien's Pacific Toyota dealership went into receivership with debts around $25 million. O'Brien was a majority owner of the NBL Cairns Taipans, and had withdrawn financial support from the basketball team, placing them into voluntary administration. The QRL delayed the release of next seasons draw pending a review of the Pride's financial situation. O'Brien stood aside as the Northern Pride's chairman, and was replaced by Bob Fowler, former chairman of the Queensland Cup side the Cairns Cyclones.[15]
