impress during their respective seasons and reach the heights on the NRL and NRLW in future come down to BMD Kougari Oval on Saturday to see our superstars in waiting The Queensland Law Society was saddened to learn of the passing of Geoffrey Porter “Geoff grew up with his brother Phillip in Biggenden in Central Queensland For his secondary schooling he boarded at Scots College in Warwick Thereafter he studied law at Queensland University “Geoff was articled to Malcolm Thomas in Wynnum and was admitted to practise in 1973 Soon afterwards he joined in partnership with Malcolm Thomas and Keith Genninges under the name of Thomas Genninges “I joined the firm in 1976 and became Geoff’s partner in 1980 Malcolm Thomas left the practice some years earlier and Keith Genninges retired in the early 1980s Geoff and I remained partners until we sold the practice to ALG in 2015 that is to say we were partners for about 35 years We changed the firm’s name to Porter Hulett in the 1990s Geoff practised in Wynnum for his entire career In the early years Geoff was active in the local community Over the year he secured work for insurers and mortgage work He was an early adopter of computer technology “He was a valued mentor of several articled clerks and younger colleagues putting in very long hours over many years He was well-read and researched on a wide range of legal matters with an impressive memory for caselaw.A rare photo of Jon and Geoff Geoff was a fierce advocate for his clients A somewhat brusque exterior concealed a generous and humorous character which speaks volumes of Geoff’s commitment and steadfastness “I know of no other practitioners who have survived 35 years together and remained on good terms.  We were very different personalities which enabled us to navigate our partnership and careers without serious blemishes Geoff worked as a consultant for ALG until about two years ago when he reluctantly retired at the age of about 71 His short retirement was beset by ill health He also lost mobility following a bad fall while holidaying in Budapest several years earlier Geoff built a boat and enjoyed sailing it on Moreton Bay He is survived by children Craig and Amanda and website in this browser for the next time I comment With 5 games at BMD Kougari Oval on Sunday you’d be forgiven for thinking that we were handing out free lottery tickets as people came from everywhere to see some high quality football 4 wins and a golden point semi final loss capped off a near-perfect day in front of a Chook Pen crowd that reinforced our home field advantage as only they can The Wynnum Manly Juniors BRL Reserve Grade won 30-6 over Souths Magpies the Cyril Connell Cup U17 played their semi final against Burleigh Bears The two best teams in the South East pool were both loaded with NRL-contracted players in what promised to be an entertaining match The Seagulls had an 18-4 lead with 14 minutes remaining before Burleigh fought back to score 3 tries in 9 minutes and flip the game before giving away a penalty after the siren Lachie Hooker kicked the penalty goal from the sideline in front of a rapturous crowd to send the game into golden point extra time Burleigh scored off the back of a penalty and won the game 24-20 before going down in the semi final in golden point with the Seagulls looking to get back in the winner’s circle after a few losses in a row A barnstorming performance saw them run away with the game Leading into the Hostplus Cup match between the Seagulls and Souths Magpies both teams observed a minute’s silence in remembrance of Mitch Cronin after being led onto the field by his family Coby Black and Blake Mozer in what was a formidable lineup Wynnum Manly scored off the opening set after a Brendan Frei break to set up Cameron Bukowski next to the posts The momentum continued in the Seagulls direction from that moment onwards as Souths were never really in the contest The Magpies managed to get a couple of tries back but the Seagulls led 24-10 heading into the break with further tries from Ron Philitoga Beni Allen opened the scoring after the break before Jamie Hill and Oskar Enasio also crossed the line Ben Far sealed the outstanding performance with a double within 3 minutes as Wynnum Manly secured a 54-20 victory over a Broncos-stacked Souths Logan Magpies team Jock Madden kicked 9/9 conversions in a great day for the Seagulls both on and off the field Chaz Jarvis also made his Hostplus Cup debut for the Seagulls and will feature heavily throughout the season The team travel to Cairns to play the Northern Pride this Sunday at 2:10pm The game can be watched for free on Kayo Freebies The Seagulls welcomed the Souths Logan Magpies to BMD Kougari Oval on Saturday for Round 1 of the junior statewide competitions Harvey Norman U17s were up first in the morning but came up against a tough Souths outfit Cyril Connell Cup then came out firing and finished off a good close game against Souths The third game of the day was Harvey Norman U19s Then the Mal Meninga Cup teams put on an entertaining display of football for those in attendance Then the two Hostplus Cup squads played off in a trial match consisting of 5 x 20 minute periods This gave the two coaches a chance to rotate through their full squads after a tough preseason training block before drawing 32-32 by the full time whistle Plenty of lessons to take from this trial game as we get closer to a new season our Mal Meninga Cup U19 team just fell short of finals football in 2025 with dozens of NRL-contracted players spread across different teams our boys played admirably through a bad run of injuries showed just how many injuries disrupted their season the next 4 games were against the best teams in the competition We scored a couple of important wins at the end of the season to finish 8th on the table We look forward to welcoming back the eligible players in 2026 and aim to transition as many players as possible into our Hostplus Cup and BRL A Grade squads as their development continues at the Seagulls Some players will make the step up to the BRL squad immediately and push for a Cup debut later in the season Well done to Blake Trace and his coaching team for your efforts across the season And thank you to our Academy partner McDonalds Bayside for your support of our juniors

back-to-back BRL premierships in a thriller over West Brisbane Panthers on Saturday - completing a 'green sweep' of all three grades at Totally Workwear Stadium The defending premiers had a disastrous start handing the ball to West Brisbane Panthers off the kickoff and they made the Seagulls pay through winger Jalen Reweti - against the team he won the premiership with 12 months earlier - in the ensuing set Wynnum Manly Juniors settled into their rhythm and the big men rolled up the middle Prop Lachlan Lee was the catalyst for a repeat set on Wests' line of all things from a kick Kyle Van Klaveren spilled back to Lee close to the line Jack Stafford snuck over in the corner on the back of a miracle offload from centre Trevor Monaei A crafty sideline conversion from Toby Westcott in difficult conditions had the scores level after 20 minutes West Brisbane returned serve when they next got the ball through a Nathan Brown penalty goal to make 8-6 before again inviting the Seagulls deep into their territory They took full advantage in the 26th minute down their left side once again when Monaei - who only found out on Thursday he would be playing - scored a try of his own cleaning up a pass on the bounce from five-eighth Calum Pereira to barge over Wynnum Manly added two points with a penalty goal in the 38th minute to take it to 14-8 before Nathan Brown added a penalty goal from 41m out right on half-time to make it 14-10 Monaei was in the action again for the Seagulls in the 47th minute stepping of his left foot close to the line and dragging four defenders over the stripe before slamming the ball down; Westcott nailing the sideline conversion to make it 20-10 West Brisbane started chancing their arm with interchanges of passes between the forwards but couldn't take advantage of the field position they had earned Wynnum Manly Juniors made them pay through the rampant left side yet again in the 63rd minute as late call-up Monaei crashed over to complete an unlikely hat-trick the 24-10 lead giving the Panthers a mountain to climb to recover The minor premiers gave themselves hope with a try in the 69th minute to Regan Glynn following a mercurial flick pass from second rower William Toloi then in the 76th minute Glynn broke away to set up his winger Zion Johnson and Brown converted to make it 24-20 with three minutes to go Player of the match Monaei was surprised to even be there on grand final day The 2023 premiership player missed multiple weeks with a knee injury and struggled to reclaim a place in a side that at one stage appeared unlikely to even make the top five while also relying on other results to reach the postseason before adding the four finals matches for a 10-game winning streak "We were playing elimination games just about for the second half of the season because we had a very poor start," Monaei said "I wasn't even meant to be playing today mate our fullback (Karwyn Fuller) got a head knock last week and I was lucky to be able to play "Harro (coach Jason Harris) gave me a call and told me we believe in you and they know what I can do and all have faith I can get the job done We all came out here with one goal in mind I've had things going on outside of footy and that so I pray and have faith God has a plan for me Monaei said never looking too far ahead was the key to the team's turnaround this year and on grand final day threw their previous results against the Panthers out the window taking in a game plan that started with dominating the middle and it's thanks to them we got the job done I was just standing on the try line and going over." Wynnum Manly Juniors captain James Robinson said the club always believed Monaei would do the job well praising the centre and back five for their work and was simply proud of everyone for securing the win despite a late scare making it a lot harder than it needs to be but it just shows the resilience of these guys it goes to show the processes we've got in place and the culture across the whole club." the red-and-green army celebrated a 28-8 win in reserve grade over Bulimba and a 28-18 win also over West Brisbane in under 21s Semi-Finals: Weekend Preview - Mal Meninga Cup Mackay and Cairns women eager to dethrone favourites Townsville in Foley Shield Everything you need to know: XXXX Foley Shield 2025 We're on a mission to radically improve the quality of Urban communities being developed across Australia We aim to showcase every development in Australia to help you find the perfect new home the Wynnum Manly Seagulls TAFE at School Program promotes excellence by equipping senior high school rugby league players with the right tools to pursue success in and outside the playing arena while providing a clear pathway to employment in the sports industry Students enter the 2-year rugby league coaching immersion program in year 10 or 11 attending 1-day a week during the school year while completing two qualifications Certificate II in Sport Coaching and III in Sport Coaching (SIS20321/SIS3042) delivered by a specialised educator from TAFE Queensland (RTO 0275) The program is fully contextualised around the sport of rugby league and the class regularly transitions between the classroom pitch and gym to create an active and engaging learning environment students will earn up to 8QCE credit points qualify to work or volunteer in assistant coaching roles at rugby league clubs and sports organisations and/or pathway into higher study Jesse O’Hara said “This program based at the home of the Wynnum Manly Seagulls creates a fully contextualised rugby league coach education program for students in their final years of high school building in two qualifications so that players get the benefit of an awesome education to support their QCE or ATAR while learning in a highly engaging and active environment.” This ideal is perfect for players who want to incorporate their passion for rugby league and the sports industry into their final years of high school If you are interested in learning more about the 2025 program and how to join BMD Wynnum Manly Seagulls legends will run out for their annual match this coming Sunday 25th August at 2:10pm the Seagulls have named a lineup of superstars looking to retain the BMD-Bartons Cup An exciting tradition on the second annual Paul Green Medal Day the legends match brings former greats of both clubs out of retirement in tribute to another Bayside legend and then coached the Seagulls to back-to-back premierships in 2011 and 2012 This game is an opportunity for the Old Boys to express their love for Greeny and put on a show for the adoring Chook Pen Some players may still be physically hurting from last year’s corresponding game Players such as Seagulls leading points scorer Mat Seamark which are on sale now and will continue to be sold on the day the final round of the Hostplus Cup will kick off at 3:10pm The player of the match will be awarded the Paul Green Medal This service operates in areas where Translink services are limited, with specially marked wheelchair-accessible maxi-cabs provided by Black & White Cabs.
