Sporting brown singlets and shorts with white spots, the Quolls strip has been described as “the ugliest colours I’ve ever seen” according to a local sports uniform manufacturer.

But the team wear it with pride, inspired and sponsored by captain Callum Price’s dad.

“Dad comes out with these outlandish things, he wanted an animal that no one’s heard of,” Price said.

Coming fourth from five teams, their position on the ladder does not reflect their capacity to challenge the best in the competition.

They have lost their past three games by one or two tries a-piece; frustrating at the time, but providing hope for upcoming games.

“When we run the ball, and use our vision, we’re more dangerous than any other team in the comp,” Price said.

“We can get in front, we just fall away in the end, we lose the run in our legs.”

Three years ago when they entered the competition, the aim was to provide more depth in the premier league and a development opportunity for young players.

“We knew we’d be understrength, we wanted to get kids coming through.”

They will be looking to keep the skills of Brocke Argus and Campbell Lovell and the speed of Jesse Margosis at bay on Tuesday night as the Quolls face MJR Electrics.
