Correct. Great participation that I got to see from the coal face of it. I played for Ivanhoes for half a season after not playing any sort of footy for a decade + prior. Great and unforgettable experience even though I was very mature aged in comparison to my early 20’s year old team mates.Rugby league participation in Cairns dwarfs the fumblers

The Cairns/FNQld comp was buzzing and I believe it still is, if not even better. Saints, Kangaroos, Atherton, Mareeba, Brothers and Ivanhoes all had good amount of juniors.

Southern Suburbs at Gordonvale however they might be Cockatoos or something else nowadays.Who are Saints?
Vs Adelaide nz 3 Brisbane 3 Fiji
It’s his favoured sportStop derailing every thread with AFL garbage.
That has zero to do with RL expansion
It's not even that though, the standard is far far higher.Rugby league participation in Cairns dwarfs the fumblers
Bro, when did you play Suburbs have been the Cockatoos for like 30 years?Correct. Great participation that I got to see from the coal face of it.

Some people are fans of it lol
17 or so years ago. Everyone (locals) just called them Saints tbh.It's not even that though, the standard is far far higher.
People like Brad Arthur coached at CDRL level. Not to mention numerous Origin and NRL players.
Where as AFL is all low level guys.

You forgot Innisfail Brothers (now Leprechauns) and the Mossman Sharks.
The Edmonton Storm and Yarrabah Seahawks play these days.

Very true. An afl fanboy!Well he doesn't attend NRL games despite living in Sydney... So that is a fact
Never heard of the Saints in the CDRL. Cairns Saints are in the local afLOL.Southern Suburbs at Gordonvale however they might be Cockatoos or something else nowadays.
I believe it had something to do with the amount of churches in and around Gordonvale. At the time there was around 7. Like I said, it’s the nickname locals (at the very least all the locals I met in the footy community) gave to Southern Suburbs during my time there.Never heard of the Saints in the CDRL.

Never ever heard that, ever. Must have been a very niche thing with your team. And Gordonvale certainly isn't know for its Churches.17 or so years ago. Everyone (locals) just called them Saints tbh.
Yeah I didn’t mention all clubs only the ones that I vividly remember having good amount of players/juniors through their grades. Keeping in mind I only played half a season and didn’t get chance to play against every club or the joy of going to Yarrabah etc but I did hear the stories….
Possibly mate, I could be completely off as it’s just recollection. I lived in the northern suburbs the entire time I was there (which was a couple of years). Smithfield at first then Trinity Beach. I didn’t venture to the southern suburbs much unless I needed to.Never ever heard that, ever. Must have been a very niche thing with your team. And Gordonvale certainly isn't know for its Churches.
If anything us Cairns locals just knew of them as "Suburbs".
If you said Saints to locals they would think the Hockey team that plays in Woree.
