Milestones

Milestone | Riley Sellars

Riley “Keg” Sellars congratulations on 50 club games. I have had the pleasure of knowing Riley since my days at Marist playing footy aside him for majority of those years. Riley has always been a big part of any team he’s been on, never failing to get the crowd and his team going with his big runs and even bigger shots in defence. Moving together from school to Owls has been one of the best decisions we have made because of success we have had since. Riley’s success is finally coming into the light with him taking away the awards...

Milestone | Raevyn Dixon

Congratulations to Raevyn Dixon on 50 1st grade games! What an awesome achievement for one of our most reliable and hardworking players. Raevyn is the ultimate quiet achiever. Always doing the hard work, always turning up for the team and never needing the spotlight. She just gets the job done and often in the moments that matter most. Over the ball she’s an absolute menace, constantly winning turnovers and shifting momentum. In defence she’s rock solid with those trademark chop tackles always bringing the opposition to ground - pretty impressive for the “smallest” forward on the paddock! While predominantly a...

Milestones | Sophie Tuilagi, Jimmy Plowman & Siave Seti

Uni-Norths Owls would like to congratulate these players on their milestone achievements today. Sophie Tuilagi on 50 1st grade games and Jimmy Plowman and Siave Seti on 50 club games.  Huge congratulations to Sophie on 50 first grade games (finally)!! Her ability to slot into almost any position, primarily owning the backline but never hesitating to put her hand up at flanker, is a true testament to her versatility, grit, and selfless commitment to the team. Whether she’s got her head in a ruck or throwing a cut-out pass, she always shows up with heart and hustle. And of course, no one...

Milestone | Josh Friend

50 up for our Owls warrior Joshua Friend! Friendy walked into an Owls Preseason in early 2017 as an unassuming red headed lock / backrower and it wasn’t long before he made his presence felt. To say he loves collision is an understatement, but it is the smile that comes across his face when the physical challenge is spoken about that tells you all you need to know about Friendy’s character as a rugby player. A strong family man has had several stints at the club, finishing 3 points shy of the MacDougall Medal winner in 2017, and most recently...

Milestones | Georgia Combes & Jacob Maloney

Uni-Norths Owls would like to congratulate these players on their milestone achievements today. Georgia Combes on 100 club games and Jacob Maloney on 50 club games.  100 Club Games! Who would’ve thought this day would come? Well—I did. Lil G, Baby G, just G, George or Georgia—whatever name you know her by, one thing’s for sure: when she’s not sidelined with injury, she’s out there grinding every week in both 10s and 15s. Since her debut in 2019, starting out in the backs but bringing the grit of a forward, it’s no surprise she’s now stepped up to play with the big...

Milestone | Holly George

Nobody would’ve thought that the quiet girl that arrived on the scene in 2022 and started as a flanker would actually slot into a position most known for being a loud pest. Flash forward to a year later and Holly George has that 9 on her back playing an instrumental role in a premiership winning match, after taking to halfback like a duck to water. Holly isn’t like most halfbacks. She doesn’t come with the usual side order of chaos and gets her forwards around the park without the GST. She brings all the magic - crisp service, sharp decision-making,...

Milestones | Jake Francisco & Jackson Whiting

Uni-Norths Owls would like to congratulate these players on their milestone achievements today. Welcome to the '50' club Jake Francisco and Jackson Whiting. With the physicality and defensive grunt of a loose forward and the perfect hair, looks and fashion sense of an outside back, San Fran’s proven himself a utility – excelling in any number upwards of a 6. He’s most at home out wide, owning the outside centre channel no matter what number he’s wearing on his back. A ball of good vibes, Jake is the first one there with a bum tap and an affirmation to get...

Milestone | Jordan Thompson

On Saturday we get to celebrate Jordan “Flanders” Thompson as he reaches his 100th First Grade cap for the Owls. Jordan’s story is a special one — not just because he’s hit 100 games, but because of how he’s done it. Hailing from Rockhampton, QLD (grubs), JT made his mark on the club almost immediately with his long left boot and, more importantly, his beautiful nature as a human being. For many who walk through the gates of North Oval, having a trick up the sleeve for the game — and countless more for the RUC — would be enough....

Milestone | Emerina Marsh

Bubba’s story is one that spans decades of family history. Following in the footsteps of her mum and her aunties, Bubba graced us with her presence in 2020. She fooled us all in that first year. She was quiet and soft spoken, staying mostly in the background until we all let our walls down and Bubba the wrecking ball catapulted into our lives. To know Bubba is to know no peace, but we are all the better for having her in our lives. You might know her by her slick hands that led to our 2023 grand final match winning...
