In 2102 we will be involved again in the very successful “Lets Tackle Domestic Violence Program” through the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet and the Federal Government. In the upcoming season we intend to be a major player in the Newcastle Rugby League competition, one of our key objectives for 2012 is to build on our success from 2011 and again make the semi finals in our senior grades and hopefully win the premiership. With the quality signings we have made for 2012 we feel this is well within our reach. The club also intends to utilise its position within the local community to nurture and develop young talent from our growing junior and schoolboy clubs, so they have opportunities to play rugby league at the highest level possible in the future. A company such as yours will play a crucial role in providing much needed assistance, at the same time it is hoped we can be of benefit to your business.
