Two minutes into the second half, fullback Daniel Ogden succumbed to an injury that forced Cronin’s unexpected shift out the back. “[Ogden] went down and the trainer came on and said I was fullback, and I wasn’t really prepared for that. “I was a bit rusty, obviously not something I practice during the week, but I did my best and luckily we got away with the win.” Despite some great form at hooker during the first half of the season, it has been Cronin’s versatility that has been a key component to the Seagulls’ recent wins. Starting at hooker, he has since moved to left centre before the forced change on the weekend saw him make a cameo at the custodian role. Cronin isn’t a stranger to either of the three positons however, having played the majority of his 2016 season at centre before moving back to a utility/hooker role in 2017 where he was awarded the BMD Players’ Player award. Ogden is expected to be a late withdrawal due to a groin injury in this evening’s home match against the Northern Pride, so Cronin will once again find himself at the back. However the genuine utility is getting comfortable with the Mr Fix It role at BMD Kougari Oval. John Te Reo reflects on his great career By Seagulls Media John Te Reo has reached a milestone which very few players in sport have achieved – ten years’ service for the one club. Te Reo adds his name to the illustrious list of testimonial players at Wynnum Manly which includes club legends Luke Dalziel-Don, David Seage, Ron Troutman and recently Mathew Seamark. The utility hails from the small town of Wainuiomata, a rugby league nursery in Wellington, New Zealand and started playing rugby league at an early age. “My league career started when I was four years old in Wainuiomata with (current Seagulls’ CEO) Hanan Laban. We played for the Wainui Lions and my old lady (Chrissy Te Reo) was our coach then.” After earning Junior Kiwi honours, Te Reo was signed by the Brisbane Broncos in 2004 and moved across the ditch. “(The Broncos offered) me an opportunity which I took with two hands. I played for West Panthers when I first got here as a colt and ended up playing for Toowoomba Clydesdales (the Broncos’ Queensland Cup affiliate).” In 2007, Te Reo made his NRL debut for the Brisbane Broncos in Round 2 against the New Zealand Warriors in Auckland. He played seven games in his debut season, playing alongside Broncos’ legends Darren Lockyer, Petero Civoniceva, Dane Carlaw, Tonie Carroll, Brad Thorn, Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker and Darius Boyd. Renowned for his laid-back, larrikin personality and ability to offload the ball at will, the man affectionately known as ‘John John’ wants to be remembered for two things. “(I want to be remembered) for the big hits. I think I put a few big shots on (over the years). And I was never a man to score a try so when I did score a try I had to make a scene so everyone remembered them. That’s where the ‘Gronk Spike’ comes from I guess,” joked Te Reo, in reference to his trademark try scoring celebration. The 32 year old is still playing football as he loves the mateship, good times and being around his friends. He credits his NRL debut for the Brisbane Broncos and back to back premierships in 2011 and 2012 as his career highlights. “Not many people can win back to back premierships. We had a good team back then and those boys will always remain in my heart.” A fan favourite of the Chook Pen, Te Reo says he is a loyal club man who bleeds Red and Green. “I wouldn’t be anywhere else. I like to be a loyal club member. I’m not too sure if I will be hanging the boots up (at the end of this season). I don’t think I will be playing (in the Intrust Super Cup or BRL next year) but I might head down to (Wynnum Juniors).” Come join us in celebrating the incredible career of John Te Reo.

Stedman Lefau and Matthew Milson are added to an extended bench after impressive performances in the lower grades.

The initiative which is spearheaded by Seagulls’ sponsor Chemist Warehouse, will present one of its customers the opportunity to kick a conversion from in front of goal, 40 meters out for $2000 during half time of the first grade game. Whilst the winner is encouraged to take the attempt themselves, they will be given the unique proposition of allowing one Seagulls Hastings Deering COLTS player to take the attempt for them, to win $1000 respectively. The ‘Kick for Cash’ is coupled with the announcement that all Chemist Warehouse customers who spend over $30 in store at either of its Wynnum and Tingalpa stores will receive free entry into the game.

With numbers being a mere formality when the final team sheet got sent in, the massive reshuffle eventuated into a much needed shake up to get the Gulls’ going toward their fourth win of the season. “Even we were having a laugh about it before the game actually,” said fullback turned half, Patrick Templeman. “We had number one at halfback, number nine at centre – it was all over the place. “But it worked and hopefully we can go on a bit of a run now.” Templeman, who has history in the number six jersey has again been named to play in the front line, an adjustment that he is more than happy to make. “I really enjoyed it [playing in the halves] to be honest,” said Templeman, who racked up pair of try assists last week. “I got my hands on the ball a lot more and could call the shots a bit more, and if that’s where I play again this week then it’ll be good.” The Seagulls are looking to make it two on the trot for the first time this season as they return home this week against an Ipswich Jets side that’s surrendered 101 points over the last three weeks. Despite this, the play-maker remains determined not to read too far into the Jets’ recent form, “I don’t think you can ever underestimate Ipswich, even if they are in an ugly patch. “They can score points from anywhere and they can score them quickly”.

Templeman enjoying return to the halves By Kenny Andres Most punters would have had to take a double and triple take at the team list for last week’s clash against the Cutters. With numbers being a mere formality when the final team sheet got sent in, the massive reshuffle eventuated into a much needed shake up to get the Gulls’ going toward their fourth win of the season. “Even we were having a laugh about it before the game actually,” said fullback turned half, Patrick Templeman. “We had number one at halfback, number nine at centre – it was all over the place. “But it worked and hopefully we can go on a bit of a run now.” Templeman, who has history in the number six jersey has again been named to play in the front line, an adjustment that he is more than happy to make. “I really enjoyed it [playing in the halves] to be honest,” said Templeman, who racked up pair of try assists last week. “I got my hands on the ball a lot more and could call the shots a bit more, and if that’s where I play again this week then it’ll be good.” The Seagulls are looking to make it two on the trot for the first time this season as they return home this week against an Ipswich Jets side that’s surrendered 101 points over the last three weeks.
