The sacked CEO Rod Jensen was replaced by Greg Dowling.[1] Dowling had a long playing career, having been a Kangaroo (1984–1987), played for the Maroons in Origin (1984–1987), Wynnum Manly (1981–1985) in the Brisbane Rugby League, Northern Suburbs (1987) in the Winfield State League, the Broncos (1988–1991) in the Winfield Cup, and Wigan Warriors in England RL's Championship and Challenge Cup.[2][3][4]

Interim chairman, Terry Mackenroth stood down and was replaced by board member and Cairns real estate agent Tony Williamson.

Feedback from fans convinced the club to return home games to Saturday evenings, as last year's move to 3:00pm on Sunday afternoons was not popular and crowd numbers fell. Home games this year were on Saturday evenings at 5:30pm, except for Round 17, 'Rivalry Round' against Mackay Cutters which was held at 1:40pm on Sunday afternoon and shown live on Channel 9.

Coach Joe O'Callaghan (2015–2016) resigned at the end of last season, and was replaced by Ty Williams, who had played for the Cairns Cyclones in QCup (1999), played for the NRL's North Queensland Cowboys (2002–2010), represented Queensland in State of Origin (2005), and played for the Indigenous All Stars (2008 and 2010).[5] Williams had played 78 games for the Pride (2009–2013), 52 of them as captain (2011–2013).[6] After leaving the Pride, he was captain-coach of CDRL Innisfail Leprechauns, and more recently had been the Lep's coach.

The Pride struggled this year, winning only six games, and losing seventeen, including eight losses in a row from Round 11 to Round 19. The Pride, who previously had an unenviable record of wins at home, managed only two victories at Barlow Park. They finished in twelfth place, their worst season to date.

Team of the Decade

edit

To mark the ten-year anniversary of the Northern Pride, a 'Team of the Decade' was selected. Eligible players had to have played 30 matches for the Pride. The selection panel was Brett Allen, Rhys O'Neill, Pat Bailey, Greg Dowling, Rob White and Bob Fowler. The Team was announced at a Gala Anniversary Dinner on 30 June 2017.
