Eric Smith was appointed as coach on a two-year contract, replacing Ty Williams, who had coached the Pride for the last seven years.[1] Smith was captain-coach for CDRL Brothers Cairns (2007–2011), Brothers Cairns operations manager (2011), captain-coach of CRL Group 21 Muswellbrook Rams (2012), captain-coach Group 9 Tumut Blues (2013), assistant coach QCup Brisbane Tigers (2014), assistant coach (2015) and coach (2016–2017) for the NRL U-20s Melbourne Storm, head coach winning a minor-premiership for QCup Vantage Homes SC Falcons (2019), and development coach for NRL Telstra Premiership nib Newcastle Knights (2020–2022).

The Pride are a feeder club to the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys.[2] The Cowboys split their squad of first grade and development players between their QCup feeder clubs, and players that are not required for that weekend's NRL fixture play for their feeder team.[3] The Pride and Cutters have been Cowboys feeder clubs since they entered the competition in 2008, and the Blackhawks became the third feeder club when they joined the competition in 2015. Last season the Cowboys sent most of their affiliated players to the Blackhawks, which resulted in the Townsville club terminating their arrangement with the Cowboys, and signing a two-year affiliation (2024–2025) with South Sydney Rabbitohs instead.[4] This means for the first time in ten years, the Cowboys' allocation is divided between just two teams (the Pride and Cutters), rather than three, and so the 2024 season should see more Cowboys playing for the Pride than last year.[5]

Four Pride players, Ewan Moore, Rashaun Denny, Lachlan West and Kyle Schneider did pre-season training with the Cowboys NRL squad between 1 November and the Christmas break 2023,[6] with Moore and Schneider being selected to play for the Cowboys in their pre-season trial match against the Brisbane Broncos in Mackay on 17 February 2024.[7]

The Pride only played one pre-season trial match this year, a three-way competition with CDRL 2023 premiers, Brothers Cairns, and local QCup rivals Townsville Blackhawks. The Pride played one-half against Brothers, then Brothers played the second-half against the Blackhawks. This match was immediately followed by a match between the Pride and Blackhawks. The game was played in torrential Wet season rain.

The circles in the middle of the jersey represent the communities affected by the December 2023 Wet Season floods, including Michael's home of Wujal Wujal. Footprints represent the travelling that was involved to help others in the flood, travelling away from family, community and rebuilding the community. Circles inside the weave are families that had to leave their homes to live elsewhere until it was safe enough to return home.
