Burleigh have clinched pre-season bragging rights on the Gold Coast after downing Tweed in both Hostplus Cup trial matches at the weekend.
For the Seagulls, despite falling short in both contests with the final scores ending up 20-16 and 18-10, they had plenty of positives to come from the hit-out – including a chance for young gun Tom Weaver to get some more time in the halves after a stellar NRL trials with the Titans over the last fortnight.
Joe Vuna also got more minutes in the legs, as did Treymain Spry who are both coming off big summers after injury ruled them out for a majority of 2022.
The local Hostplus Cup rivals will square off again – this time for points – on Saturday, April 1 at Piggabeen Sports Complex, before another showdown in Round 15 at the end of June.
Both sides will enjoy this coming weekend off in readiness for their seasons to begin on March 11 with the duo on the road – with the Seagulls flying up to Rockhampton and face the Capras.
