The Campbell Construction Co. Tweed Seagulls hope to have only one change to their side for the Intrust Super Cup elimination semi-final against Redcliffe Dolphins at Tugun this Saturday (2.10pm).
The Gulls are the finals side unable to play at its regular home ground, Piggabeen Sports Complex, forced to train between available venues and now down to their sole NRL player, Toby Sexton, after the injury to second-rower Joe Vuna in the heartbreaking 22-16 loss to minor premiers Norths Devils last Sunday.
Yet they will take a lot of spirit and fight into the clash with the Dolphins, who eliminated Tweed from the 2019 finals series with a 25-24 victory on the back of a 79th minute Tyson Gamble field goal.
Tweed have five players from that match who will run out on Saturday determined to keep their grand final hopes alive after coming so close to getting a week off by beating Norths. They are Lindon McGrady, Ryland Jacobs, Lee Turner, Brent Woolf and skipper Lamar Liolevave. Two other 2019 players, Talor Walters and Luke Jurd, are injured.
Liolevave’s second-rower partner will be Joshua Patston if he recovers from an ankle injury suffered last weekend, in place of Vuna who copped a serious knee injury.
Five-eighth Will Brimson will have to satisfy the concussion protocols this week to take his place but the Seagulls are confident he will be right to take his place.
Juwan Compain, who has played well in seven appearances this season, comes onto the bench after the 20-year-old played in the Hastings Deering Colts’ lost semi-final last weekend.
