Tweed Heads play their first home game of the season this Sunday and will pay tribute to life member and “father of football” Col Hayes. Hayes has filled a number of positions at the club from player to General Manager. On the field, the team have made three changes, with captain Matt King to serve a one match ban for striking. Chris Piper and Ben Ridge have also not been named, with Cory Blair, Tom Kingston and Pele Peletelese to come into the side. Ryan James may also make his return from a shoulder injury, while Blake Anderson will lead the team in King’s absence. Norths – who are coming off a hard-fought 18-12 win over Burleigh last week – have also been forced to make changes to their team, with Shaun Carney and Jharal Yow Yeh injured in last week’s game. Nathan Lowrie, James Geurtjens and Namila Davui are the new faces in the side. In the corresponding match last year – the Devils won a thrilling match with a field goal after the siren and they will look to continue their good away form which has seen them win their past five games on the road.
‘Dobbo’ says: There will be a blitz at the hairdresser over the next couple of days before this Channel 9 game. Tweed haven’t had the best of starts to the season, but they’re capable of striking form here. Tweed Heads Seagulls by 4.
