The Tweed Seagulls will head to the northern Queensland mining town of Julia Creek for the Intrust Super Cup’s Country Week round in late July.
The Gulls will take on Souths Logan Magpies in the round 20 clash on the weekend of July 22-23 as part of the Queensland Rugby League’s initiative to take the game at state cup level to the grass roots.
The round’s venues were announced today, showing how the Intrust Super Cup will further expand its footprint into regional Queensland, with four towns to host premiership matches for the first time as part of the ‘Get in the Game’ Country Week initiative.

In a major boost for regional Queensland communities, Minister for Sport Hon Michael de Brenni, announced matches will be played in Winton, Bamaga, Clermont, Julia Creek, Mundubbera and St George.
Only Bamaga (2011 and 2015) and Clermont (2013) have previously held an Intrust Super Cup match, adding an even greater sense of excitement and anticipation to this year’s Country Week round.
Mr de Brenni urged regional Queenslanders to add the weekend of July 22-23 to their calendars.
“Nothing brings us as Queenslanders together like footy, and this is especially true in regional Queensland,” Mr de Brenni said.
“Whether they’re playing at home or away, communities rally to support our local teams, and the Palaszczuk Government is getting behind you too.
“I’m proud that our Government will continue to support the Queensland Rugby League’s Intrust Super Cup Country Week initiative with a three-year sponsorship commitment.
“Sport is a lifeblood of many country towns. We want to show you how keen we are to get behind your local community.”
Julia Creek, with a population of less than 500, is a beef, wool and mining town located on the Flinders Highway between Mt Isa and Townsville, 273km to the east of ‘Isa’.
