The North Queensland Cowboys have announced a partnership with UK Super League Club Hull KR, aimed at enhancing development pathways both on and off the field.
The collaboration has been in the works for six months, focusing on creating a meaningful relationship that benefits both organizations.
To facilitate this partnership, three virtual cross-club working groups will be established, meeting monthly to coordinate efforts across senior teams, academy programs, and commercial operations.
Additionally, the CEOs of both clubs will convene every two months to review insights and progress from these discussions.
A highlight of the partnership will occur in early 2026 when both teams travel to Las Vegas for a significant event where the NRL and Super League will take over Allegiant Stadium.
In preparation, an opposed training session will take place, offering players and fans a unique experience.
Supporters are encouraged to rally behind both clubs, as the event will feature Hull KR facing off against the Leeds Rhinos in the "Battle of Yorkshire," while the Cowboys will begin their 2026 season against the Newcastle Knights.
Cowboys CEO Jeff Reibel expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, emphasizing its potential benefits, although the full quote from him was not included in the provided content.
