Brothers Junior Rugby League Club is a non-denominational Club, with players registering from throughout the local area and community, coming from a wide variety of backgrounds.

St Dominic’s College initially entered teams into the Penrith District Junior Rugby League competition in the early 60’s, and subsequently St Dominic’s J.R.L.C. was formed in 1968, as a separate body from the College.  This was done by a group of Rugby League enthusiasts, (mainly parents of boys attending the College), with the driving force coming from Mr. Harry Slaughter and Mr. John Hasler, (father of Des Hasler).  

From its humble beginnings, when the Club entered 4 teams in the 1968 season, St Dominic’s had grown to be one of the largest junior rugby league clubs in the Penrith district; and in fact one of the largest junior rugby league clubs in the world. In 2003 the Club changed it name from St Dominic’s Junior Rugby League Club to Brothers Penrith Junior Rugby League Club Incorporated,  In the 2023 season had 49 sides entered in the district, with these sides ranging from under 6’s up to Open Men, additionally Brothers entered  2 teams in NSWRL Major Competitions being Sydney Shield and Ron Massey Cup

The Brothers Club is not only large, but it is also very competitive in all age divisions; with sides entered in First Division in all but 2 age groups in season 2023.  However, the Club has not lost sight that in junior sport, all ability levels need to be catered for, and it is part of our stated philosophy that one of the Club’s main aims is for its juniors, both male and female, to enjoy their sport – at the level at which they participate. In 2014 the Club introduced an all inclusive program know as Try Time for participants with mental disabilities starting  with just 6 participants growing to 35 in 2023 ranging from 6 year’s old to adults in their 40’s.

In Season 2024 Brothers have entered into an agreement with Panthers NRL creating a pathway for our players to the junior representative teams and NSW Cup
