The Wallaby legends and MRP ambassadors Nathan Sharpe and Tim Horan AM spent the evening mentoring our mentors on and off the field… while jealous parents watched on reminiscing about the good old days.

Here’s a great article in this week’s South East Advertiser about the Modified Rugby Program (MRP) at Easts Tigers this season.

Little Lucia Sandstrom’s dreams came true at the weekend.

We’ve gone from often feeling very much alone to now truly being part of our community.

We could have hardly imagined 12 weeks ago that this would have been possible as the MRP is the first time that many of the children had ever played a team sport.

Oliver Scores his Dream!

A fantastic shot of Ollie from the MRP West’s Junior Rugby Club on the front page of The Satellite.

Thank-you to Ollie, his parents, and everyone from The Satellite! It’s fantastic to see so much community support for the MRP.

As you can see from the story, everyone, including the parents, were pretty excited.

The two impact players dusted their boots and came off the bench to join in the game.

As we were a player down, he jumped in to fill in for the MRP Red team. Whilst the Blue Team was initially a little concerned, Nathan demonstrated his legendary sportsmanship by ensuring the game was evenly balanced.

The realisation of the program had meant a lot to the mentors, their players and their families. “The reaction has been fantastic and it was pretty emotional when we kicked off the program,” he said. The experience will also benefit the mentors who will gain certificates for their coaching experience.
