Taree City Bulls Refuse to Quit Despite Tough 2025 Start
Let me tell you what's been happening with the Taree City Bulls this season—it’s been a rough ride, no doubt about it. Eight rounds in, and still no wins on the board. But here’s the thing: this team hasn’t thrown in the towel. In fact, the spirit in the camp is still strong, and head coach Doug Ferguson is determined to steer them back on track.
Now, if you’ve been following Group Three rugby league, you’ll know the Bulls have had moments where they’ve shown real fight—like when they nearly toppled last year’s grand finalists, the Macleay Valley Mustangs, back in Round 1. But the issue has been consistency. A solid first half, a few good sets, and then… it unravels. Ferguson said it best: rugby league is a game of moments, and right now, Taree just isn’t capitalising on theirs.

Last Sunday, the scoreboard told a harsh story—60-12 against the Port City Sharks. But if you watched the game, you’d know the effort was there. The hunger was there. What’s killing them? Handling errors. Coach Ferguson is clear: about 95% of the points scored against them are coming off the back of their own mistakes. That’s tough to swallow, but also promising—because it means the Bulls aren’t being outplayed in structure or fitness; they’re beating themselves. Clean that up, and they start winning.
This weekend might just be the turning point. The Bulls are gearing up to face the Forster-Tuncurry Hawks in the Dan Aldridge Cup—a match that’s always full of passion and pride. Last time these two met, it was neck and neck until the Hawks surged late. But this time, it’s on Taree’s home turf at Jack Neal Oval, and that might just be the edge they need.
First grade kicks off at 5:30pm, but the whole day’s a footy festival, starting from 2pm with the Ladies League Tag. Expect the Bulls to come out fired up—not just to save a season, but to prove they still believe in themselves and their supporters.
So yeah, it’s been a rough start—but this season’s not over. Not by a long shot.
