The BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls are pleased to report that two players from the club’s Intrust Super Cup side received major awards at the League’s annual dinner on Friday night, held at Brisbane’s City Hall.
Both Edene Gebbie and Pat Templeman have been recongised as the competition’s best for their respective positions.
Gebbie, who leads the league in tackle breaks (162) and run meters (4,377) was named ISC Fullback of the year. Overcoming a strong list of candidates including Nicho Hynes (Sunshine Coast Falcons), Devils captain Jack Ahern and fellow grand finalist Kurtis Rowe (Burleigh Bears).
The Papua New Guniea international has dazzled crowds all year with his electric runs and exciting style of play. So much so, he earned himself a chance to achieve to his childhood dream of playing in the NRL after picking up a contract with the South Sydney Rabbitohs from season 2020.
Pat Templeman too was acknowledged for his stellar form in season 2019, taking out ISC Five-Eighth of the year.
A stalwart for the Gulls since joining in 2015, Templeman has produced match winning plays in the clutch moments of big games.
The 2015 Petero Civoneceva medalist has made a knack of scoring long range tries for the Seagulls this season, crossing eleven times in total. However none were more important than his 60 meter dash to the try line against Townsville in last week’s Preliminary Final.
Other notable mentions for the Seagulls include;
Adam Brideson (Coach of the year nominee), Mitch Cronin (Player of the year and Hooker of the year nominee), Sam Scarlett (Player of the year and halfback of the year nominee), Shannon Gardiner (HD Colt of the year nominee), Jake Simpkin (Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup Player of the year nominee) Reece Hoffman (Auswide Bank Mal Meninga Cup Player of the year nominee).
