Brothers Juniors Reign Supreme Winning 4 Grand Finals

By Bob Hay on 9th August 2011

  Brothers Juniors capped off one of its most successful seasons on record, winning four of the six Group 9 JRL Southern Pool Grand Finals on Saturday at McDonalds Park.

The under 11 Grand Final was close to the best game on the day, with the game requiring extra time before a winner was decided. Brothers and Kangaroos traded tries throughout the game and the score at the end of regular time was locked together at 12 all.

The game flowed from one end of the field to the other but desperate defense from both sides snuffed out many scoring opportunities. Man of the match and winner of the Rick Keast Memorial best on ground crossed for this third try of the game in the second period of extra time to wrap up a sensational victory.

Brothers under 13 avenged their loss in the 2010 decider with a strong game against an equally talented Turvey Park outfit. The game started out in typical fashion with some very strong defense from both sides as the struggled to gain the ascendancy. The game opened up for Brothers when dynamic ball runner Ethan Andrews was injected into the game off the bench after the 15 minute mark.

Andrews was only on the field for 20 seconds where the raced onto the ball out side and sprinted 60 meters to open the scoring. Andrews was in again ten minutes later before Turvey hit back with a try just on the half time buzzer. Nicholas Hay scored the only try of the second half and was later named as the Rick Keast Medal winner.

There is no such thing as a certainly and Brothers under 14 proved this with a sensational fifth straight Grand Final victory over the pre-post favorites Albury. While the Albury side has taken all before them this season the Brothers boys remained composed and went into the game quietly confident. The boys used their big game experience to defend the many attacking raids of the big and mobile Albury side while using the ball with exceptional quality to match the Albury side on the scoreboard.

Blake Jorgensen made a huge impact in the game while Nicholas Orr tackled non-stop and ran the ball relentlessly for the entire game. The immensely talented Dylan McLachlan controlled the game from the five-eighth position and was recognized as the best player on the field with the Rick Keast Medal.


Brothers Under 15 finished off the year as undefeated premiers over longtime rivals Kangaroos running out 18 points to 4 winners. The Brothers started the game strongly with some great running and ball movement.

Hard working front rower James Hay open the scoring for Brothers when he crashed over for a well-constructed try after 7 minutes of play. Brothers put on another 3 tries during the first half with Sharne Robinson finishing off a backline movement to score out wide and Jack Stubbs seizing the opportunity to dive over from dummy half close to the line.

Roos hit back with a try just before half time and the score at half time 20 points to 4. Roos came out strongly after the break and matched to Brothers in both defense and attach and neither side was able to add to the half time score line. Winner of the Rick Keast Memorial man of the match award was the hard running hard tackling lock Troy Barby

Wagga Brothers are 'Tackling Domestic Violence'

By Blake Dunn on 10th March 2011


In a first for sporting teams in the Riverina, Wagga Brothers Rugby League Football Club is proud to announce that the club has been selected to be ambassadors for the “Tackling Violence” program.

The “Tackling Violence” program will put Wagga Brothers at the forefront for sport teams in not only Wagga, but the Riverina and Country Rugby League, in regards to community involvement, and promotion. Our footy club is heavily focussed on the positive messages that can be conveyed by a sporting club to the community. One area that we have identified as a club that we believe we can improve on and be leaders within the local community is community involvement. The addition of this program is the first step in taking our community involvement to a level that is unmatched by any club in the local area.

The first stage of the program involved a visit from the program co-ordinator as well as former NRL try scoring machine and Tackling Violence ambassador Nathan Blacklock on Tuesday 8th March and Wednesday 9th March. As well as conducting information sessions with Wagga Brothers players and committee, the visit coincided with meetings with the Local Area Command, Mens and Womens groups, Mount Austin High School and Riverina Juvenile Justice Centre. The aim of these meetings was to explain the program to the stakeholders within the local community so that we can further the reach of the program, and to maximise the message conveyed to the local Wagga Wagga area.

The senior Brothers sides were also fortunate enough to have their training session conducted by legend Nathan Blacklock. This was a great buzz for all involved and we as a club are truly honoured to have Nathan not just make himself available, but offer to run the session.

About the Program:

Tackling Violence is a community education, early intervention and prevention program supported by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments that uses regional rugby league clubs to promote changed attitudes and behaviours to domestic violence in the local communities. The program uses men and boy’s involvement and passion for sport and rugby league as the context for discussion about domestic violence in their communities, giving them an opportunity to speak to each other and to the community about the effects of domestic violence on women, children, families and communities.

Every Brothers player and official of the club will be required to sign a code of conduct that commits them refraining from domestic violence, agree to become community role models, and to participate in the community education program, display the Tackling Violence logo prominently on the club jersey, game day program and supporters merchandise. Penalties for breaches of the code of conduct are stipulated in the signed document and clubs are required to report breaches to the Project Manager and to enact penalties when required.

As part of the program Wagga Brothers will also become affiliated with the Good Sports Program, an initiative of the Australian Drug Foundation that helps sporting clubs manage alcohol responsibly and alcohol related violence in the community.

A local TV, radio and poster campaign featuring the Wagga Brothers delivering a locally targeted message will be delivered in the Riverina area. The players will be heavily involved in developing the content and team message featured in the announcement. 

Club posters with a locally targeted message for each community are distributed to police stations, pubs and clubs, TABs, schools, court houses and other government and public venues. Local, state, national and Aboriginal print media is targeted with regular stories, photo opportunities and other promotional material.

Domestic Violence Statistics provided by the Wagga Wagga Local Area Command

In the last 12 months, there were 332 DV assaults in the Wagga Wagga Local Area Command reported to police (almost one a day). That does not take into account the domestic incidents where there is verbal argument, threats, intimidation, etc, but no physical assault.
Alcohol was a factor in well over half of those assaults.
In the last 12 months, there were 205 reported Breaches of AVOs.

According to the National Plan to reduce violence against women and children, one in three Australian women has experienced physical violence since the age of 15. Indigenous women and girls are 35 times more likely to be hospitalised due to family violence related assaults than other Australian women and girls.
