Brothers Rugby Union Club Townsville Inc.

We're proud of our Brothers Senior Men and U19 Colts players who represented Townsville and North Queensland at this year's Queensland Country Championships, both groups wearing the region's colours with pride.

Congratulations to the Senior Men on being crowned 2026 Queensland Country Champions after an outstanding tournament. 🏆

Good luck to all players as they await Queensland Country team announcements. We can't wait to see Brothers players representing Queensland Country in the months ahead.

A great effort from all involved across the championships. 💙💛

💙 A message from the Hogue family:

Richie is now midway through his third block of chemotherapy, with several more blocks still to come. Despite the challenges and side effects, he continues to do well.

We’ll be based in Brisbane for the remainder of the year while Richie continues his treatment. Through it all, he has remained positive and is always looking ahead. He can’t wait to be back with his mates and pull on the blue and white jersey once again.

On behalf of our family, we’d like to sincerely thank everyone who supported Richie’s Round and everyone who has donated blood. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated!

– The Hogue Family

Richie and the entire Hogue family continue to be in our thoughts. Thank you to everyone who has supported them throughout their journey.

Good luck to our senior teams taking the field this weekend. Get down to Hugh Street tonight to cheer on our 1st Grade boys, and if you fancy a road trip, 3rd Grade will battle it out against Western Suburbs tomorrow in Ingham. 💙

We're incredibly proud of our Brothers women and U18 girls who represented Townsville and North Queensland at this year's Queensland Country Championships. Representing your region is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the hard work you've put in throughout the season.

Congratulations to the Senior Women on being crowned 2026 Queensland Country Champions after a fantastic tournament. 🏆

A special congratulations to those already selected in the Queensland Country U18 Junior Orchids & Barbarians teams, and best of luck to our Senior Women's representatives as they await their team announcements. We can't wait to see more Brothers players representing Queensland Country.

Well done to everyone involved on a fantastic championships. 💙💛

💙 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.

💙 Richie’s Round may be over, but Richie’s fight is not.

Since launching Richie’s Team, our Brothers community has already contributed 25 plasma donations - an incredible effort that will help save lives and support those who rely on life-saving blood products every day.

If you'd like to support Richie and others who rely on plasma donations:

🩸 Search "Richie" at my.donateblood.com.au/app/jointeam and join Richie’s Team.
🩸 Donate plasma.
🩸 Help us keep the momentum going.

Every donation counts and is a simple way to continue backing Richie and his family on the journey ahead.
