The Pirates got their 2016 campaigns underway in impressive style in Week 2 of the season.

The Pirates Colts got the day off to a great start with a 32-12 win over the Wollongong Brumbies. The Pirates, fielding a team largely made up of rookies, started well and were never headed on the day.

We have just received this email from the League –
Clubs,
Unfortunately due to the significant rain that has fallen today all grounds have been closed. With the lack of an adequate number of suitable grounds to move all games, GNSW has been forced to call round 1 effectively cancelled.
All games will be scored as a 6-6 draw, giving each team 1 championship point. The exception to this is Central Coast v West Sydney, as Central Coast forfeited, the result of that game remains the default 21-0 for West Sydney.
These games will not be made up later in the season.
