Rugby league is back with a bang, with the opening rounds of Connell Challenge and Meninga Cup played across the state this weekend.
In matches today, it was a double celebration for the Wynnum Manly Seagulls who claimed the Connell Cup 22-12 over home side Norths, and then the Meninga Cup clash by 26-24.
A bone-rattling tackle by Norths second rower Wesleyan Aiomata on opposite five-eight William Herbert had the crowd in rugby league heartland of Bishop Park roaring.
It was a great start to the season.
