History
The Northern Pride was one of two expansion teams for the 2008 season of the QRL Wizard Queensland Cup,[1] along with the Mackay Cutters, against whom they played their debut game. Both teams are feeder clubs to the North Queensland Cowboys.
Cairns was represented in the QRL State Competition from 1996–2000 by the Cairns Cyclones, but a lack of support resulted in their withdrawal.[2] Further representation in the competition was suggested in 2006 by a Cairns-based consortium of John O’Brien, Denis Keeffe, Nigel Tillet and John Moore, this time with the support of the North Queensland Cowboys and 9 of the 11 CDRL Clubs. The team name and logo were unveiled in July 2007 at a "Legends of Origin" lunch held at The Reef Hotel Casino.[3]
The Club is a development club built around the phrase 'Born and Bred.' It was formed to create a regionally based talent development pathway for players, coaches and administrators.[4] Prior to the creation of the Club, talented Far North Queensland rugby league players were invariably forced to move away from the region to go to schools and/or join southern based state league and national league clubs.
The Northern Pride competes in the Intrust Super Cup, as well as the Under-18 competition (Mal Meninga Cup) and the Under-20 competition (Hastings Deering Colts).
Staff
Coach
The original coach was Adrian Lam, who arrived in Cairns in August 2007, but was released a month later to take up a coaching position at the Sydney Roosters.[5] He was replaced by former Canberra Raiders NRL player Andrew Dunemann (Coach 2008–2009) with former North Queensland Cowboys player David Maiden and Troy Cummings as Assistant Coaches.
Dunemann resigned at the end of 2009 and Maiden was promoted to Head Coach with former Canberra Raiders and PNG international David Westley as Assistant Coach. Maiden left at the end of 2012 season and was replaced by former Super League player Jason Demetriou as head coach with Ben Rauter as Assistant Coach.
Demetriou coached the Pride to a minor premiership in his first season, winning 17 of their 22 games and being awarded the 'Men of League Coach of the Year' award. In his second season Demetriou secured the minor premiership again, winning 20 games in 24 rounds, before taking out the premiership and the inaugural NRL State Championship. Demetriou resigned at the end of the 2014 season to take up the position of assistant coach under Paul Green at the North Queensland Cowboys. He was replaced by assistant coach Joe O'Callaghan, who coached the team during the 2015 and 2016 seasons with assistant coaches Shane O'Flanagan and Leon Hallie, and trainer Darren Ferricks.
Former North Queensland Cowboys and Queensland Origin winger Ty Williams was appointed coach in 2017, with assistant coaches Sam Obst and Shane O’Flanagan. Williams was named as QRL 'Coach of the Year' for the 2018 season. In 2019, Williams signed an extension which will see him coach until the end of the 2021 season.[6] In November 2018, former Pride player Chey Bird was appointed Football Operations Manager.
Captain
The foundation captain of the Northern Pride was former North Queensland Cowboys and St. George Illawarra Dragons player Chris Sheppard.[7] He was the first player signed to the team in July 2007, and was captain and operations manager for the first three seasons. Sheppard retired after leading the Pride to the 2010 Queensland Cup premiership.
Former North Queensland Cowboys player Ty Williams was captain for the next three seasons (2011–2013), before retiring to captain-coach the CDRL Innisfail Leprechauns. In 2014 Brett Anderson and Jason Roos were named as joint co-captains.
Ryan Ghietti was named as captain in 2016, with Jack Svendsen as vice-captain. Ghietti retired at the end of the 2018 season and Tom Hancock and Dave Murphy were named as joint co-captains for the 2019 season.
CEO
The foundation Chief Executive Officer was Dennis Keeffe. He was replaced in 2010 by QRL Northern Division chairman John Moore. From 2011 to 2013 former team captain Chris Sheppard was chief executive officer. He was replaced in May 2013 by Northern Pride business development manager, Brock Schaefer.[8] Schaefer resigned at the end of the 2014 season to take up a role at South Sydney Rabbitohs and was replaced in January 2015 by former Pride player Rod Jensen. Jensen was replaced in September 2016 by Greg Dowling, who left the position in July 2018 and was replaced in October 2018 by Mark Quinn.
Chairman and Board of Directors
The founding Northern Pride chairman was John O'Brien. He was replaced by Bob Fowler who retired in December 2015. Terry Mackenroth acted as interim chairman until June 2016, when Cairns real-estate agent and club director, Tony Williamson, was appointed chairman.
The Northern Pride Board of Directors in 2019 is Tony Williamson (chair), Gail Andrejic, Colin Moore, Stephen Tillett, Peter Parr, Terry Medhurst and Stephen Devenish.
Venues
Barlow Park
The Pride's home ground is Barlow Park in Cairns. The playing field is 114 metres long (100 metres of field plus two 7-metre in-goal areas) by 68 metres wide. The facility is floodlit for night games with four towers providing 620 lux. The venue has a capacity of 15,000, which includes 1,700 seats (mostly undercover) in a stand on the northern side of the park. The stand was constructed in 1987. The car park can accommodate approximately 300 vehicles. In 2012–2013 the Pride played 13 consecutive home games at Barlow Park without loss. In 2014 Barlow Park was renamed 'The Jungle' and the Pride won all 12 matches they played there.
Other venues
The Pride have played two home games at Pride Oval (CDRL Kangaroo's Vico Oval) in 2010, and one home game at Davies Park, Mareeba in 2014.
As part of the Queensland Cup's Country Week initiative, the Northern Pride have hosted home games in Mount Isa, Yarrabah, Mareeba, Innisfail, Ravenshoe, Cooktown, Bamaga and Thursday Island.[9]
Pride Oval and Pride Leagues Club
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 the Roos were in financial difficulty). Vico Oval was renamed Pride Oval and the 2008 Northern Pride Player Awards ceremony was held at the Pride Leagues Club. Pre-Season Trials were played at Pride Oval in 2009, as well as Round 9 and Round 11 of the 2010 Season.
The Oval and Leagues Club cost around $230,000 a year to maintain, and so in December 2010 Cairns Regional Council agreed to purchase the sporting complex for $2.5m to guarantee its future as a sporting field, prevent residential development on the land and free the Northern Pride rugby league club from an oppressive debt. The Pride were given a six-month lease, and when it expired in May 2011 they decided not to renew and moved to Barlow Park. Pride Oval was leased to CDRL Kangaroos RLFC and became Vico Oval and Kangaroos Leagues Club once again. The Pride played a pre-season trial matches at Vico Oval in 2012 and 2016.

From 2013 matches were also broadcast in Papua New Guinea on Kundu 2 TV.
In August 2012 the Australian Rugby League Commission signed a $1 billion five-year broadcasting agreement with Channel 9 and Fox Sports, which meant that one Intrust Super Cup match would shown each week from 2013 to 2017.
