    The Campbell Construction Co Tweed Seagulls today recorded their biggest winning margin since 2015 with a 54-12 defeat against Brisbane Tigers at Piggabeen Sports Complex, proving they are a genuine contender in the Intrust Super Cup competition.

    Venue: Piggabeen Sports Complex, Tweed Heads
    Five-eighth Lindon McGrady converted all of Tweed’s nine tries, three from right on the touchline, and added a try of his own for a career-best 22 points as the Seagulls came from behind for the seventh time in eight games this season.


    It was the first half-century posted by the Seagulls since a 52-24 win against the Cutters in Mackay in the corresponding eighth round in 2018, with a Tweed side that boasted NRL heavyweights Kane Elgey, AJ Brimson and Moeaki Fotuaika, and the biggest margin since the 50-4 slaughter of Burleigh Bears in the Rivalry Round clash of 2015.

    However, it took 23 minutes for Tweed make an imprint on the scoreboard, while the Tigers were down to 14 men with Mitch Frei in the sin bin for a high tackle, after Brisbane had gone to a 6-0 lead after nine minutes with a converted try to fullback Michael Purcell.

    It was a tough, even encounter for the first 20 minutes before McGrady opened the scoring with one of several long-range Tweed tries. Lindon backed up to take an inside pass from cousin Brayden McGrady after centre Lee Turner had broken free.

    That started a scoring spree that saw the Seagulls score nine tries in 44 minutes to demoralise the Tigers who were missing some key players, but still fielded an experienced Cup side.

    Skipper Lamar Liolevave, one of Tweed’s unsung heroes this season with his tough carries and efficient defence on the left edge, said it wasn’t the points barrage that impressed him most about the victory, but the consistency in applying pressure over 80 minutes, something Tweed have struggled to do this season despite only one defeat in eight games.

    “The boys were able to keep the pressure on them non-stop and the score showed that,” said the Fijian international. “That was the most pleasing thing for me.

    “We started a bit slow again, as we have been in most games this season, but we struck back quicker than usual and didn’t let go.

    “They were missing a few players, but the belief in the team is building, and to post a big score like that will be good for our confidence.

    "We have Norths Devils, who are above us on the ladder, next round so that will be the real indication of where we’re at.”

    Coach Ben Woolf agreed that it wasn’t the exhibition of try-scoring that was the most important component, but the defensive effort of the forwards and the team’s step forward in controlling the ball and constructively building pressure in an effort that mirrored the 28-16 Round 5 win against Redcliffe.

    “We know we have plenty of strike out wide but the forwards deserved the most credit today in getting on top after a physical first 20 and going on with the job.”

    Fullback Jayden Campbell again impressed with some brilliant touches from fullback in front of Titans coach Justin Holbrook and his number one No. 1 AJ Brimson. He scored Tweed’s second try in the 23rd minute after stepping around three defenders and was prominent in three others.

    Treymain Spry, who played five NRL games for the Titans last season, picked up two tries while Darius Farmer made his mark, scoring a try and pulling off the hit of the day with a brutal head-on tackle on Tigers halfback and skipper Darren Nicholls in the 55th minute.

    The ball was coughed up because of the impact, with Joe Vuna scooping it up and running away before sending an overhead pass to the supporting Spry who ran under the posts. Farmer was later sin-binned for a high tackle.

    Tweed scored some polished tries after spreading the ball on the back of good downfield headway, with half Toby Sexton and Lindon McGrady directing play well in the team’s most dominant performance of the season.

    McGrady took his points tally to 425 points since joining the club in 2017 and needs only eight more to pass James Wood’s 432 to become the third highest scorer for the club in Queensland Cup competition – behind Brad Davis with 1066 and Nathaneal Barnes with 514.


    The Seagulls are unbeaten in their past five games this season and have won 12 and drawn one of the past 16 matches since 2019. They take on the Devils in two weeks after a well-earned rest next weekend in the second week of the split round.

    Both teams have next weekend off as Week 2 of Round 8's BHP Indigenous Round takes place.

    Brimson crosses twice as Tweed overtake Mackay
    https://www.qrl.com.au/news/2021/06/...ertake-mackay/

    Tweed Seagulls cemented their push for a top four spot in the Intrust Super Cup competition with a gritty 24-16 victory over a gutsy Mackay Cutters outfit at BB Print Stadium.

    The hosts seemed the better of the two sides for the majority of the contest, even leading at half-time, but despite an improved showing in defensive resiliency and an urgency in attack, Tweed were able to prevail in what proved to be another frustrating outing for Mackay.

    The Seagulls started the game with their backs against the wall, with the Cutters earning repeat sets to no avail.

    Their resilience was rewarded a short time later when centre Treymain Spry found space on an overlap down the left flank and scooted 60 metres to score.

    The Cutters answered back through Matiu Stone-Dunn, who latched onto an offload close to the line, and would not be stopped as the resulting shot at goal levelled the scores at 6-6.

    The hosts extended their lead midway through the half off the back of a penalty, as skipper Ross Bella charged onto the ball off a crash play to give the home side a converted try advantage at half-time.

    Unfortunately for Mackay, they shot themselves in the foot coming out of the main break, dropping the ball deep in their own territory and gifting Tweed field position.

    Five-eighth Will Brimson needed no second invitation, slicing through the Cutters defence off the back of the resulting scrum and scoring under the posts; the game levelled at 12-12.

    Tweed would regain ascendency of the contest when Brimsom bagged his second try on the night, taking advantage of a short-side overlap to scoot over on the left edge.

    An undefended 40/20 attempt saw Mackay on the back foot once more, with Braden Robson storming over to give the visitors their biggest lead of the night.

    Mackay would cut back into the deficit as Tweed’s ill-discipline continued to haunt them, with Jesse Dee powering over as the game entered the final 10 minutes.

    But the result would end with a late penalty goal from Lindon McGrady, the fullback slotting the kick and giving the Seagulls a crucial eight-point buffer that they would defend until the fulltime siren.

    Mackay prop Jack Brock lamented Mackay's lack of composure post-match.

    “It was another frustrating one (tonight). They ran a few tries on us in that second half and that’s what cost us,” Brock said.

    “We played well enough to win, but at times tonight we went away from what we've been training and trying to fix.

    “We work hard at training, and we're good at times in matches, but not when we need to be (in key moments).

    “We've been close all year, tight games with top teams, but we keep beating ourselves. (But) the good thing about footy is that there's always next week.”

    Next week, the Cutters will travel to Davies Park to face Souths Logan Magpies.

    It appears that no contracted players are playing in the Derby this week.
    Is that a club policy???

    Souths Logan Magpies v Tweed Seagulls
    https://www.qrl.com.au/news/2021/07/...jor-milestone/

    Match: Magpies v Seagulls
    ROUND 12 - SUNDAY 25TH JULY
    Venue: Davies Park, Brisbane

    Head-to-head: Souths Logan Magpies 18, Tweed Seagulls 18
    Hashtags: #intrustsupercup #SLMvTWE

    • This weekend, Souths Logan Magpies will be aiming to get back on track following two losses on the trot when they take on the high flying Tweed Seagulls who are aiming for their 200th Cup win in their 402nd game. The club have 14 draws and 189 losses.
    • The Magpies have produced some up-and-down form this season and while they are second in attack, they are sitting ninth in defence this season.
    • However, the Seagulls will be without in-form half Will Brimson for this weekend’s match after he was suspended after taking an early guilty plea for a crusher tackle made in last week’s win against Sunshine Coast Falcons. Second rower Joshua Patston was also suspended for a crusher tackle.
    • The Magpies too have been hit by the judiciary, with second rower Jacob Alick to miss this game, also for a crusher tackle charge.
    • The last time these two sides met, Tweed posted a strong 40-26 win in Tugun after the Magpies originally led 14-12 at halftime.
    • While the head-to-head for these two teams are even at 18 each, Tweed have won three of the past four games between these two sides.
    • However, Souths Logan have won four of the past five games played between these two sides at Davies Park.
