On Thursday, February 22nd, the Tweed Seagulls held their highly anticipated season launch at Seagulls Club, bolstered by the support of one of our crucial partners, Essential Coffee.
Approximately 180 enthusiastic supporters attended the breakfast to hear what lies ahead for the Tweed Seagulls in 2024, including many of the club’s important partners. Addressing the guests, CEO Brendan Lindsay underscored the club’s vital function in offering pathways for young talents aspiring to reach NRL and NRLW levels, while also highlighting the club’s dedication to community initiatives and its recognition of the significance of that work in ensuring long-term sustainability. QRL Director Brian Canavan reiterated Tweed’s crucial position in the Queensland state-wide competition, and the significant role the club plays in the development of young players in the region.
The event featured all-star panels, with the male ensemble boasting NRL Premiership-winning coach and newly appointed Gold Coast Titans head coach, Des Hasler, alongside Titans star David Fifita, Tweed Seagulls’ Head of Football David Penna, and star Tweed players Will Brimson and Lamar Liolevave.
An equally impressive female panel followed, headlined by Titans Head Coach and reigning NRWL Dally M Coach of the Year, Karyn Murphy, flanked by two of the world’s best players Jaime Chapman and Jess Elliston, who proudly represent the Tweed Seagulls.
The panels captivated the audience, offering invaluable insights into the upcoming seasons for both Tweed Seagulls and Gold Coast Titans, while also shedding light on the developmental pathways available for aspiring talents from Northern Rivers NSW and the Gold Coast.
Additionally, the club extends its heartfelt appreciation to partners who generously contributed gifts to the launch, including See Civil, Maccas, Cool-a-bah Cooling & Electrical Services, CMBT, Gold Coast Titans, Seagulls Club, Fitstop, Rainbow Bay Realty, BOQ Coolangatta, and TopSport, who donated the major raffle prize of a 12-seat outdoor box to a Titans game, along with a $250 Top Sport voucher and a $250 Charity Bet.
