Pirates in hunt for treasure in 2022

NOOSA Pirates Rugby League Club appointed their Division 1 and Head Senior Coach for the 2022 season and also welcomed the new management committee for the upcoming year, as part of the club’s Annual General Meeting.

The Always Cool Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Noosa Pirates are happy to announce that Brett Winkler will again be taking the helm for the club, as it looks to improve on its Division 1 Top 3 finish in 2021 at the end of the regular season rounds.

“It’s great to be back at the wheel again and I am confident that we can improve on this year’s results.

“We had a terrific Div. 1, Div. 2 and U/18 squad and we were able to blood some young talent into the top grade.

“With that experience under their belts and the addition of two to three players to the top squad in some key positions, I believe we will be on a really good trajectory for next season.”

President Paul Dwyer was delighted to have Winkler back onboard with the Noosa Club, especially after getting three of its four Senior teams in the finals this year, including the SC Glass & Aluminium Open Women’s team for the first time in the club’s history.

“2021 was another good improvement for us as a club and we are now filtering more of our Junior players into the Senior ranks.

“We’ve got a good balance of youth and experience and some new players that have come to our club over the past season, and that has made a great impact for us, both on and off the field. Following the successful 2021 year, Winkler has confirmed that he will be embarking on one final, epic voyage for the mighty blue and gold.

“I have had two amazing seasons here as the Head Coach of the Pirates, so I’m really looking forward to my last year here. There’s some unfinished business that hopefully we can take care of,” he said.

“We already have an amazing bunch of players, coaching and support staff and I’m hoping we can keep as many people from last season together, plus add a couple more in some key areas.”

President Paul Dwyer was onboard with the coach too when he reiterated Winkler’s position.

“We love the fact that we are one United club right through from our U/6’s
