REGISTRATIONS
2025 Registrations OPENING 9th December
~ Registrations are NOW OPEN for JUNIOR and SENIOR members for the 2024 rugby league season! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for additional news.
~ Junior Transfers/Clearances: The RLTD has a rule in place where new and transferring players cannot be formally accepted for the 2024 season until end of January. Most clearances are a simple process but there are some reasons for clearance denial. These include, but are not limited to:
- Fees still owed at previous club
- We reach our maximum number of clearances per age group (limits set by QRL rules)
- Teams reach capacity
If we cannot accept your child’s registration, we will endeavour to let you know as early as possible.
~ MAKE SURE TO REGISTER AS THE CORRECT MEMBER TYPE! If filling more than one role, you will need to register as each Member Type. For example, if you will be coaching one team and running as LeagueSafe in another you need register as BOTH Coach and a Trainer
– Player LeagueTag (U6 and U7 age group ONLY)
– Player Tackle (U8 to Seniors)
– Coach
– Trainer (LeagueSafe, League First Aid, Sports Trainer)
– Volunteer (Team Managers and Executives)
~ PAYMENT OF PLAYER FEES – We have our Registration fees set up so you don’t have to pay at time of registration HOWEVER, in 2024 ALL Junior players up to 18 years of age will be required to pay a MANDATORY Insurance fee upon registering. You can find more information about our payment options for the Registration component below.
~ CHECK IF YOUR REGISTRATION WAS SUCCESSFUL – Log in to your NRL account at PlayRugbyLeague.com, click the menu button (top left hand corner) and select REGISTRATION HISTORY. Choose one of the members linked to your profile from the drop-down box and it will display their season history below. If there isn’t a record for the new season, then the member is NOT registered.

JUNIORS
~ Team Allocation: The make up of teams for the 2025 season will be determined in the first few training sessions. It is dependent on several factors, such as number of players registered, team leveling requirements and Tiers in some international age groups.

~ Potential 2025 Age Groups:
– U6 mixed TAG Rugby League (per Player Development Framework). Players can be turning 5 or 6 during 2025 to play U6, however those starting at age 5 must do 2 years of U6.

**HANDY HINTS TO MAKE REGISTRATION EASIER**
~ You DO NOT need individual log ins for each of your family members – you are welcome to use a single email address for your family to simplify registration. Anyone linked to your same email address in the “old” system (if not registered since pre-2020 season) should be available for you to re-register to Play, Coach, Train, or Volunteer.
~ Family members missing from your new NRL account? Try using the “Add a New Participant” function during registration – enter the person’s details as per their ID and search. Follow the prompts to verify and link them to your account. If a match isn’t found, DON’T complete the registration. Contact Kerry (Brothers Football Admin) HERE and advise: player name, date of birth, and correct email address so a duplicate isn’t created.
~ Unsure if the registration was successful? You can check by: while logged in to your account at PlayRugbyLeague.com, click on the menu button and select REGISTRATION HISTORY. From this page you can individually select each member and see where they’ve been registered and in which season.
