2013 Northern Pride RLFC season

About

2013 was the sixth competitive season for the Skill360 Northern Pride Rugby League Football Club based in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. They were one of 12 clubs that played in the eighteenth season of Queensland's top rugby league competition, QRL's Intrust Super Cup, with each team playing 11 home games and 11 away games over 24 weeks between March and August.

New coach Jason Demetriou was appointed on a two-year deal, replacing last year's coach, David Maiden (2010-2012), who was now QRL's Cairns-based Region Co-ordinator. Demetriou had played for Newtown Jets in the Metropolitan Cup, before moving to England where he played centre, lock, second-row and five-eighth for Lancashire Lynx, Rochdale Hornets, Widnes Vikings, and Keighley Cougars, was captain for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, and an international, having represented Canada in the 2000 Rugby League Emerging Nations World Championship, and Greece in 2007. He was coach for the Keighley Cougars (2011-2012), before moving home to Australia to take up the job with the Pride. In his first season in Cairns he was awarded the 'Men of League' Coach of the Year.
