Gulls Aim To Soar Against Souths

It’s fair to say this season in the BMD Premiership hasn’t quite reached the Tweed Seagulls expectations.

Recording just one win from six games, head coach Spencer Taplin said the desire to finish the season on a high has never been greater.

“I just want to end it how I know we can end it,” Taplin said.

“I want us to be able to show the brand of footy that we haven’t been able to put together yet.”

Tweed has one last chance to do that when they meet Souths Logan Magpies on Sunday afternoon.

The game will be played at Cbus Super Stadium and act as a curtain-raiser for the NRL clash between the Titans and Sharks.

“It’s a great opportunity for our girls to play on the big stage and I just want them to grab it with both hands.”

Tweed has shown promise in patches this season but are yet to put together 70 minutes of footy.

“We just have to start well. If we can do that and continue that energy throughout the entire game, then we will get the win.”

While the results haven’t always come through for the girls, Taplin said the Gulls will be better because of it.

“I know there’s been some big learnings and development of us not achieving everything we would have liked this season.”

However, one thing the club has achieved is a great culture and promising program.

“I know what we have created here this season is just the beginning for the club, and we will continue to grow on that in the coming years.”

Taplin has made some key changes to his side, bringing in some youth to pair with experience.

“A lot of our younger girls have been working really hard and I thought they deserved an opportunity to show what they can do.

“I know that experience will get us over the line.”

Kick off from Cbus Super Stadium is at 1.45pm on Sunday.
