Mountain Creek State High is now officially Manly Sea Eagles Junior Central as far as the student’s rugby league fortunes are concerned.
One of the Sunshine Coast’s great breeding grounds for league has forged formal links with the NRL premiers and its new Queensland Cup feeder club the Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles.
Manly’s main man on the Coast, Dennis Moore, will personally oversee the Mountain Creek rugby league school of excellence program to ensure a production line of youngsters prepared to wear the club colours.
And the word is already out with rugby league player managers who have already contacted Sunshine Coast Sea Eagles CEO Brett Winkler about enrolling promising youngsters at the school. There are 100 places available a year – 20 for each of the five age-year levels.
“We are getting player managers ringing up making inquiries about the school – and I have personally shown one of them around.â€Â
Moore and Sea Eagles Queensland Cup coach Brandon Costin were at the school yesterday to announce six-year-old program’s new direction.
“I’ll be working with the coaches at Mountain Creek High and doing some sessions with them,†he said.
Moore said he was determined to ensure the students had some interaction with the Manly NRL players.
“We’re working on player availability out of Sydney to come up her and work with Brandon’s team, and when that eventuates, there’ll be a flow-on from to here,†he said.
“I’d like nothing more than to bring a Jamie Lyon to training here with the boys. It’s beneficial to us to have these boys coming through.â€Â
Moore described the new arrangement as “the perfect marriageâ€Â.
“They (the students) can stay here, do their schooling, go into the workforce – whatever they need to do and still have a chance at the NRL without leaving the area.â€Â
