Source: 2018 Northern Pride RLFC season

2018 was the eleventh competitive season for the Cairns based Northern Pride Rugby League Football Club. They were one of 14 clubs that played in the twenty-second season of Queensland's top rugby league competition, QRL's Intrust Super Cup, with each team playing 12 home games and 11 away games over 24 weeks between March and August.
Channel 9 continued to be the television broadcast provider, but televised games moved from 2:00pm Sunday to 1:00pm on Saturday afternoon.
The Pride signed Dally M medal winner Todd Carney, a huge coup for the club. Carney hoped to join the Cowboys and play in the NRL again. After eight rounds, Carney resigned to move to Sydney to look after a family member, but promptly signed with Intrust Super Premiership side, North Sydney Bears. The Pride requested $15,000 in compensation to cover relocation costs they had paid, but Carney and the Bears refused. Carney then signed a short-term contract with Hull Kingston Rovers and returned to England to play Super League.
This was Ty Williams second season as coach. The Pride had a promising start, with three consecutive wins, but then had three straight losses, setting the tone for a turbulent season marked by inconsistent performances. The Pride won 13 games and finished fourth. They were knocked out of the finals series in the first week, with a resounding defeat to Easts Tigers 32-0. The Tigers were beaten in the Grand Final by minor-premiers Redcliffe Dolphins.
