💙 TROT FOR TOM 💙

Our Brothers family has always stood together, and now it’s time to rally around one of our own.

Tom Tugai, along with his siblings, has proudly worn the Brothers jersey and been apart of our blue and white family. Following a devastating injury, Tom now faces a long and challenging road to recovery. As a club, we want to show Tom and the Tugai family that they are not walking this journey alone.

With collaboration with Toms high school Kirwan High we invite our entire rugby league community, family, friends and supporters to join us for Trot for Tom.

📅 Sunday, 9 August
📍 The Riverway
🕑 Registration: 2:00pm
🚶 Walk begins: 3:00pm
💙 $10 donation (all proceeds go directly towards Tom’s recovery)

There’ll also be a sausage sizzle ($2.50) and Bubbles N Froth available on the day, so bring the whole family along.

Whether you walk, donate, volunteer or simply come along to show your support, every person there will make a difference. Every step is a reminder to Tom and his family that they have an entire community behind them.

Let’s fill Riverway with blue and white and show the Tugai family what being part of the Brothers family is all about.

Every step. Every donation. Every bit helps.

Thank you to McDonald's for supporting the RLTD and giving opportunities to our clubs to reward the great volunteers in our game!

What a way to celebrate than that win over the panthers!

Congratulations to our RLTD Club based referees selected to referee the exhibition games at the Cowboys for the Laurie Spina Shield.
