about us
Club History
Brothers was first formed in 1919. In the late 1930's a dispute arose over the name of "Brothers" as, at the time the Catholic Bishop Basil Roper objected as he did not want the name "Brothers" or St Mary's College been associated with non-Catholic members who may have been playing with the club. Most of the members joined a team know as Charlton for a short time but, not long failed due to financial difficulties and was disbanded.
Rev Dean Michael of Holy Name had a rugby union team "YCW" playing in the local rugby union competition. During the war years Rugby union went into recession so Rev Michael decided to enter the team into the local Rugby League competition. He became President and Jack McGaw became Secretary. Between them they set out forming the new All Whites Rugby League Club.
Why ALL WHITES? For those that can remember, it was in the middle of the war years and supplies of any description were hard to get. The only jerseys at time were WHITE so, there lay the simple answer.
Confraternity
The Confraternity of Brothers Clubs is a closely knit organisation of thirty-eight junior and senior rugby league football clubs in Queensland located in all of the state's major cities and towns from Cairns to the North to Logan in the South. There are nine clubs in the Brisbane/Ipswich area. There are eight licensed clubs associated with the football clubs including some of the largest and most progressive clubs in Queensland. (Toowoomba) are in a joint venture with other sports clubs to run the Toowoomba Sports Club, and Gladstone are currently building a licensed club. The football and licensed clubs are a closely knit group which has a valued association with the Queensland Independent Secondary Schools Rugby League. The Clubs and the Confraternity give significant financial support to QISSRL. We believe that our organisation is unique in sport throughout the world because no other group of clubs is united by an organised common bond as we are. 100 or more delegates from the combined clubs meet twice a year using one of the clubs as a venue.
