Kobus Botha, President of SARL, was full of praise for Jan Prinsloo (a previous vice-president of SARL) for his tireless efforts to get the Northwest Province up and running; "All of this forms part of the expansion plans for rugby league in South Africa and the Hurricanes will join the existing Protea Cup teams, as well as the newly formed Bethal Broncos in the Protea Cup Challenge. We are planning on a few more clubs to strengthen the region, and will keep working away at creating a strong Northwest Province. We wish Joe the best of luck with his team going forward."
