Unfortunately the weather gods turned on us again last week after play got underway on Saturday. By lunchtime many grounds were well under water and unplayable which left us no choice but to cancel remaining games across both Saturday and Sunday.

Whilst there are no competition rounds this weekend with the Kings Birthday Long Weekend, the open age clash for the Luke Lewis Cup will bring representative Rugby League back to the CJRL calendar.

Saturday 8 June at 3pm will see our boys take on the Panthers Juniors, which will be a great test against the biggest Rugby League nursery in the country. Please note the venue has changed to Corea Oval, home of the Gymea Gorillas.

Get along and give our CJRL Sharks your support in what should be a great match. Our boys are excited about this opportunity and ready to do what it takes to get their hands on the trophy.

Team Liaison Officer  Each team must provide a “Team Liaison Officer” (TLO) who will act as a contact point for the Ground Manager during fixtures at CJRL venues. Should supporters /spectators from either club behave in a manner that would previously been dealt with by the Ground Manager, from this point the Ground Manager will engage the relevant Team Liaison Officer to address this issue with the spectators involved.  The Ground Manager at each venue will hold two Hi-Vis Pink vests that each Team Liaison Officer will be required to wear during the course of the match so they can be easily identified. The TLO is to make themselves known to the Ground Manager prior to the start of the match, and names of each TLO recorded on match sheets.  The Team Liaison Officer will be required to remain near the bench area for his or her team during the match, but remain outside the roped/fenced playing area.  Ground Managers and Team Liaison Officers shall not be permitted to drink alcohol prior to or whilst acting in these roles.  The Team Liaison Officer will be required to assist in resolving any situation that may occur relating to their teams’ spectators/supporters. ie: trying to calm the situation down before it escalates.  The Team Liaison Officer will work with and assist the Ground Manager. The Ground Manager still has the responsibility of maintaining control of spectators, interchange bench areas, and liaising with match officials, this is not the role of the Team Liaison Officer.  At the end of the match the Hi-Vis Pink vest is to be handed back to the Ground Manager (not left on the interchange bench or on the ground).  The Team Liaison Officer (as per the Ground Manager) should be a person capable of maintaining a calm demeanour and be a minimum of 18 years of age. Ideally the TLO would be someone closely aligned with the team but cannot be carrying out an accredited match day role (coach, trainer etc).

NO MATCH IS TO COMMENCE WITHOUT EACH TEAM LIAISON OFFICER BEING IN PLACE ALONG WITH THE GROUND MANAGER.
