Brothers Rugby League Club

[Brissy Bulldog]

That book was great. I have a copy of it somewhere.

Although I hated Brothers (my dad played 1st grade for them before switching to the Devils), my local is now the Crushers Leagues Club and I must admit to having a few goldies down there and thinking back to the glory days. A Devils v Brothers clash at Corbett Park was always a highlight.

Old thread, but needed to reply.

In 1929 two Brothers league teams played. The original incarnation was Christian Brothers Old Boys / Merthyrs. This is the club that exists today as Brothers Rugby Club. The other was Past Brothers. Past Brothers is the club that most league fans mean when they talk about Brothers. They formed in 1929 whilst the Christian Brothers Old Boys played in the BRL in that same year. So two "Brothers" teams played in Brisbane rugby league that year. This was the last year in Rugby League for "CBOBs" as they returned to rugby the following season. Past Brothers jumped into the QRL for 1930.

I dispute and update as follows ....

1917 - grand finalist (as Merthyrs)
1918 - grand finalist (as Merthyrs)
1919 - semi finalist
1920 - grand finalist
1921 - 5th
1922 - 6th
1923 - semi-finalist

1925 - semi-finalist

1929 - 6th
1930 - did not play in BRL .... played in rebel QRL comp only

1932 - 7th

1947 - 6th

Some legendary forumers on this old thread.

 

[Get Rid of The Donkeys]

Are Logan Brothers competing in this year's BRL.

 

[Diehards]

Was just thinking the same thing - RIP Mud N Blood!

Souths Juniors have been added to the BRL comp this year

 

[XXXX Cap]

Yep, as well as Mud we had oxenham, Up The Mighty Phins (aka Dolphin Matt), Sgt Schultz and Sydney Carton (aka many other Dickens characters).

 

[The Partisan]

Yeah you have to wonder where they all got to ....... (Mud being the obvious exception).

Just not their interest any more or other circumstances I suppose.
