The Campbell Construction Co. Tweed Seagulls go bush this weekend to take on the Sunshine Coast Falcons in round 14 of the Intrust Super Cup – heading to the town of Murgon that produced one of Queensland’s most brilliant players, Steve Renouf.
And coach Ben Woolf, who has a great affinity with the annual Country Week Round having been born and raised in Mt Isa, is hoping to take the strongest possible with minimal changes to the line-up to the one that was beaten 28-22 by Burleigh Bears in last Saturday’s cliff-hanger local derby.
The same 17 has been named for Saturday’s clash, with the addition of Ryland Jacobs, who was a late withdrawal with injury against the Bears, and Hastings Deering Colts back-rower Juwan Compain as 19th man. There are some slight injury doubts over a couple of players so the team will not be finalised until Thursday night’s training session before the team departs on Friday to the Central Queensland town.
The Seagulls and Sunshine Coast, a Melbourne Storm feeder team, will again be without their NRL-aligned players because of COVID-19 restrictions.
“We really enjoy getting out to the bush in Country Week Round and although we lost last week it’ll be good to take our group of core players for the trip,” said Woolf.
“I think we can take a bit of confidence from how we played against the Bears without our NRL players and hopefully we’ll have pretty close to the same line-up again.
“It’s an important match after Burleigh moved to within a point and having the postponed game against Souths Logan (three points behind Tweed on the ladder) the next weekend.”
