Wynnum Manly Seagulls will take on the Brisbane Broncos in a pre-season trial match to kickstart each of their 2023 campaigns.
The teams will clash at BMD Kougari Oval on Saturday, February 4 at 4pm.
Regularly a sell-out event, fans will be treated to multiple matches across the day involving the McDonald's Seagulls Academy teams, before the main event.
The Broncos made a significant improvement in 2022 and will look to take the next step into the top eight in 2023, with an exciting roster across the park.
With a large turnover of players, and Mat Head as the incoming Hostplus Cup coach, the Seagulls will be eager to test themselves against their elite opponent.
Many players have come to the Seagulls for an opportunity to progress to the NRL, and what better way to start the season ahead than a strong performance against their affiliate club.
Seagulls CEO Wayne Weekes said hosting the Broncos in Wynnum was a fantastic opportunity for the team and supporters.
“We’re looking forward to a huge 2023 season across all our teams," Weekes said.
"To welcome the Broncos to BMD Kougari Oval in the pre-season is a privilege for our supporters and a great opportunity for our players to see where they’re situated leading into an important year ahead.
"Our fans love this game each season, and we can’t wait to see the ground packed to the rafters.”
Broncos and Seagulls supporters will have access to food trucks, prize draws and merchandise from both teams.
Due to our limited capacity at BMD Kougari Oval, this event will sell out, so purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment.
