AFTER a well-deserved break Northern Pride are refreshed, focused and ready to take on the Wynnum Manly Seagulls in the upcoming Country Round in Cooktown tomorrow.
Pride, which currently sits number 1 on the ladder, is set to take on the Wynnum Manly Seagulls which are currently sitting sixth on the ladder, for the Country Round this Saturday in an encounter that is set to be thrilling.

“I encourage everyone to come out and support the team in Cooktown. Your presence and energy make a tremendous difference, and together, we can create an unforgettable atmosphere,” he said.
“The bye week provided our players with a crucial opportunity to rest, recover, and regroup.
"It's a vital part of our season's strategy, allowing us to recharge both physically and mentally, ensuring we're in peak condition for the challenges ahead.
“I can feel the excitement building. This round holds a special place in our hearts, not just for the game itself, but for the opportunity to connect with our footprint and this year with the communities in and around Cooktown.
“Our match against the 6th placed Wynnum Manly Seagulls and is set to be a thrilling encounter.
"The Seagulls are a formidable team, and we will need to be prepared to give our all on the field.
