It’s easy to see something special is brewing for the women at Tweed Seagulls.
The club has worked towards introducing a new pathway for female players this year to progress from the Under 19s system into the BMD premiership and hopefully onto the NRLW.
It’s given the Tweed girls a good mix of experience and youth for this year’s campaign in the BMD Premiership, but Skipper Georgia Hale said the Seagulls are yet to hit their straps.
“The work we’ve done with our playing group has been phenomenal, now it’s just all about transferring that to the field and playing the brand of footy that we know we can.”
The girls are eager bounce back from two losses on the trot against the Panthers in Brisbane on Saturday.
“Yes, it’s two losses, but it’s at the side of the season where we want them and where we can make those mistakes and learn from them.
“Looking back, we understand where we went wrong and it’s made us come to training with purpose.
“Having that weekend off over Easter has fuelled the fire for the girls, and we’re hungry to be back playing footy again,” Hale said.
With the first season of the NRLW done and dusted, the likes of Jess Elliston, Zara Canfield, Kaitlyn Phillips, Jetaya Faifua and Tarryn Aiken are all set to return to Tweed for the clash with Hale back as Captain to steer the ship.
“I do like that key element of the game,” Hale said.
“I look back when I was at that age and it was the senior girls that made me feel welcomed and apart of the group.
“It’s been nice to buddy up and really connect and engage.”
Kick off from Frank Lind Oval in Brisbane is at 3pm on Saturday.
