A mix of rising young stars, experienced Cup campaigners and a sprinkling of worldly travellers will make the Tweed Heads Seagulls their home next season.

Inaugural Queensland Under 20 State of Origin representative Brandon Tago (Roosters NYC) and Macauley Dawson, Nathan Portelli and Ethan Price (all from the Gold Coast NYC) head the contingent of young players, while Doug Hewitt (Mackay Cutters), Sam Meskell (Burleigh Bears) and Mark Offerdahl (Illawarra Cutters) have all been Cup regulars.

A number of players will be returning “home” to the club after stints away, with Shaun Carney (Norths Devils), Jake Leary (Illawarra Cutters) and Tom Dawney (Philadelphia Fight) amongst those coming back to the coast.

While the list of gains is extensive, the Seagulls have a lot of experience to make up, with skipper Matt King (retired), Cory Blair (Bilambil) and Tom Merritt (NSW Sevens) just some of the key players who have parted with the club in the off-season.
