Read More Dolphins Defence Sees Them Past Seagulls An inspired Redcliffe Dolphins outfit came away 28-18 winners over the BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls at Moreton Daily Stadium in Round 17. There was barely a cloud in the sky at Redcliffe as both teams ran out to perfect football conditions on a fast pitch. Brimming with talent from their affiliate club, the New Zealand Warriors, the Dolphins started strong with a try to Viliami Vailea. The Seagulls responded soon after with a try from Te Maire Martin, who returned to the side after performing strongly for the Brisbane Broncos, and then suffering an injury that sidelined him for multiple weeks. Matiu Love-Henry put Martin through the line, who then passed to Zac Hosking in support. Hosking gave the ball straight back to Martin to dodge the fullback, who then scored under the posts. The game went back and forward for 15 minutes with both sides threatening to score, despite set plays breaking down. Jeremiah Simbiken then crossed for the first of his two try’s in a barnstorming performance that would later earn him ‘Hastings Deering Player of the Match’ honours. The Dolphins took a 12-6 lead into the break, with the game evenly poised. However, Redcliffe crossed for 3 tries in the first 11 minutes of the second half to blow the game wide open. Max Plath got one back for the visitors in the 58th minute to start the Seagulls comeback. But errors and solid defence from the Dolphins halted the Seagulls momentum whenever they looked like going on a run. Delouise Hoeter scored in the 73rd minute to give a glimmer of hope, however the Dolphins would close out the game 28-18. Seagulls Sportsman’s Dinner The BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls are closing in on our biggest event for 2022, the Sportsman’s Dinner on Tuesday 9th of August. This major event helps to fundraise for the Seagulls Foundation, which supports player welfare, junior development through the McDonald’s Seagulls Academy, and infrastructure improvements at BMD Kougari Oval. Wayne Bennett will headline a blockbuster night of entertainment, where he chats one-on-one with MC Pat Welsh before he starts the Redcliffe Dolphins head coach role in 2023. Joining Wayne on stage will be QLD State of Origin legend, Shane Webcke. We look forward to hearing from Shane about playing at NRL and representative level, as well as some behind-the-scenes stories while being coached by Wayne for so long. Greg Ritchie, former Australian Test cricketer turned comedian, will also perform on the night, and based on previous reviews, there will be tears of laughter across the room. In between our special guest appearances, there will be a live auction for 4 incredible items with outstanding value. Additionally, a major raffle will be held across the evening with the grand prize of a 7-night trip to Fiji + $2500 Helloworld flight voucher being handed to one lucky winner. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, a silent auction containing 40 memorable items will run throughout the night with participants able to text through their bids from the comfort of their seats. All funds raised will go straight to the Seagulls Foundation and are incredibly important for the success of the BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls both on and off the field. There are a few tickets left for this event which can be purchased here: www.wynnumseagulls.com.au The Seagulls would like to thank BMD as our Principal sponsor, Premier Partner Bartons Motor Group, and all Seagulls sponsors that will contribute to the night by attending or donating a prize. We are looking forward to a big one on Tuesday night! Head to lead Gulls for next two years Wynnum Manly Seagulls have today confirmed Mathew Head has signed a two-year contract to lead the club as the new head coach from 2023. The 40-year-old will join the Seagulls from the St George Illawarra Dragons where he has been the NRL assistant coach to Anthony Griffin over the past two seasons. Head is a former NRL halfback, where he played 67 games for the Dragons from 2003-09, as well as a season each for Wests Tigers and Hull FC in Super League. After retiring from playing, Head began his coaching career with the Dapto Canaries and then supported the Cronulla Sharks and Dragons as a specialist kicking coach. He then coached the Balmain Tigers SG Ball (Under 18) team to state and national titles, before returning to the Dragons where he progressed from NYC Under 20s head coach, to NSW Cup head coach and eventually NRL Assistant Coach. Interim CEO Tom Solah said that Head’s NRL pedigree and extensive experience in pathways were the perfect fit for Wynnum Manly. Head said he’s very excited to take up the top position at a historic club in rugby league. “I’m very excited to be joining the Seagulls and it’s a privilege to be leading a proud club with all its history. I am very grateful for how Adam has left the club in a strong position, and I can’t wait to get started” Emerging Leaders Camp on Moreton Island This past weekend, our partners at Moreton Island Adventures hosted 15 players and staff on Moreton Island as part of the Seagulls Emerging Leaders Camp. The goal of the camp was to allow the players to bond and enhance their leadership capabilities as they progress through the ranks of the Seagulls football teams. Led by outgoing Seagulls CEO Hanan Laban and Operations Manager Daryl Short, with support from Leading Teams expert Martine Harkin, the camp was a great success and certainly justified the decision of the club to identify these young men as future Seagulls leaders. With great organisation from club sponsor, Moreton Island Adventures, the players boarded to the MICAT ferry over to Moreton Island on Saturday morning and hopped on a day tour of the island. This tour include sandboarding the dunes, snorkeling the shipwrecks at Tangalooma and kayaking in clear-bottom boats. The accommodation was situated at Castaways glamping tent area on the north of the island, where further leadership activities continued into the evening. The food, accommodation and organisation provided by Castaways and Moreton Island Adventures was phenomenal. Many players were able to experience the island for the first time and will no doubt return in their own time. The Seagulls are thrilled to have partnered with Moreton Island Adventures and hope to make this a yearly trip.

Place Estate Agents Networking Breakfast Friday morning saw Seagulls sponsors and guests gather at the Wynnum Manly Leagues Club for a networking breakfast supported by Place Estate Agents Gumdale and Manly. Kate Davies, CEO of Netball QLD, was the special guest of the morning, as she participated in a Q&A discussion with outgoing Seagulls CEO Hanan Laban. Kate was able to provide incredible insight into her position at the top of netball in QLD, her impressive career which has included roles in politics and with QLD Cricket/Cricket Australia, and also the challenges that the sport of netball faces currently and into the future through expansion. Guests were also able to ask questions of Kate and relate her experience back to their own businesses and personal lives. Following Kate’s Q&A, participants were able to network with fellow sponsors in a small team-building exercise. The Seagulls would like to thank Place Estate Agents Gumdale and Manly for partnering with our networking events this year. This opportunity for sponsors to network outside of the football atmosphere on gameday is very important for the development of relationships at the Seagulls, and we hope that it benefits each individual person and business that attended.
