Colts move on after second half comeback

The Seagulls turned in an impressive second half performance against the Mackay Cutters on the weekend, to advance to the Preliminary Final and Week 3 of the Hastings Deering Colts Finals series.

The game took place at Tugun on Saturday, a neutral ground, with both clubs fighting to continue their premiership campaign. The Seagulls opened the scoring, with an early try to Malachi Retchford, but found themselves trailing 18-14 at half time.

Max Plath had the Seagulls only other try in the first period, with Braden Whittaker continuing his fine form with the boot going 2 from 2 alongside a penalty. A small lead was erased in the second twenty minutes of the game, with the Cutters bouncing back and scoring two unanswered tries.

Despite the half time deficit, the Gulls came out firing in the second half and quickly swung momentum in their favour. Seagulls Colts Head Coach Michael Dobson said that the boys knew they had the ability to win the game and score points, if they went back to basics and played their own brand of footy.

A strong preparation leading in to the game kept the team’s confidence high, despite coming off a loss in Week 1 to the Sunshine Coast Falcons.

Defensive intensity allowed the Colts to slow down the Cutters point scoring in the second half and win the game off the back of their own impressive attack. The Colt’s 2021 season included an impressive for and against thanks to dominant attack and stifling defence, in a show of strength for the McDonald’s Seagulls Academy Program.

Tries to Harrison Graham, Grand Hagai and Ben Farr helped build a moderate lead in the opening phase after half time. Malachi Retchford claimed his second try with 9 minutes to play before a Plath field goal put the result beyond doubt.

The Seagulls finished a strong second half winning the game 39-28.

The Colts will take on the Redcliffe Dolphins at Moreton Daily Stadium on Saturday evening, with a spot in the Grand Final up for grabs. Tickets are still available to head to Redcliffe and support the club as we look to qualify for the final two Grand Finals of the QRL season.

 

Seagulls recognised at Queensland Rugby League Awards

Seagulls players across both the Intrust Super Cup and Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup were recognised by their peers and coaches at last week’s Queensland Rugby League Awards.

The annual event, held at Brisbane City Hall, showcases the best players across the QRL’s major competitions and recognises the phenomenal work of club volunteers and community programs throughout the year.

Five different Wynnum Manly players received awards on the night, with the Seagulls also taking home the Club Championship for the strongest performance across all statewide competitions.

Seagulls Hooker Jayden Berrell was awarded the Petero Civoniceva Medal for the best player in the Intrust Super Cup, as well as being recognised as the form #9 in the ISC Team of the Year. Teammates Luke Bateman (best Lock) and Jack Campagnolo (best Five-Eighth) also received Team of the Year awards

In the Under 18s, Seagulls Academy rising stars Shaun Packer and Blake Moore were joint winners of the Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup Player of the Year award.

A full recap of the awards given out can be found on the QRL website: https://www.qrl.com.au/news/2021/09/24/honours-for-berrell-and-teitzel-at-qrl-awards/

Seagulls players comprised three of the eight total Team of the Year positions, more than any other individual club. The honours are a testament to all Seagulls players and the balance within the entire playing group, who have all who have contributed to an outstanding season to date across the club’s programs.

70 Years of Club History Celebrated in Style

Seagulls Media

On Friday September 17, the Club celebrated 70 years of history at our annual Sportsman’s Luncheon. Hosted by Chris Bombolas, the event was an opportunity to hear from two panels of club legends; Seagulls who represented Queensland at State of Origin and club Icons from the across the decades.

Guest speakers from the first panel included Gene Miles, Paul Green, Chris McKenna and Craig Greenhill. Rugby League Journalist Steve Ricketts dove deep into the archives to encourage these Origin stars to recount their journey in footy. Some infamous moments were discussed, alongside some lesser known stories, giving attendees an intimate understanding of what it meant to play rugby league for Queensland.

Later in the afternoon, guests in attendance were treated to more special memories from some of the most popular and famous names in Wynnum Manly rugby league history. Luke Dalziel-Don, Graham Curtis, Ken Churchill and Earl Morgan were also joined on stage by Ned Green.

A captive audience heard these legends share how proud they were to represent the local community and run out for the Seagulls every week.

In addition to learning about club culture, international tours and what it means to play for the Gulls, the event also raised important funds for the Seagulls Foundation. The Foundation directly supports the development and welfare of local athletes and provides invaluable resources to the club on and off the field. Players from the Seagulls Academy program were in attendance at the luncheon to greet guests and pass on their thanks for the additional support.

A host of auction items and raffle prizes were given away on the day, including a travel adventure to the Whitsundays, Broncos Inner Sanctum experiences and rare sporting memorabilia. Every guest and partner who contributed to the fundraising on the day has made a meaningful contribution to the ongoing development of the club.

The club would also like to make a special thank you to the guests in the room who participated in a captivating live auction and contributed significant funds to the Foundation, including Barton’s Motor Group, TFH Hire Services, Lipke Motors and a few of our club legends.
