McGrady brings up 150 for his boyhood club

Rugby League is full of mystery and intrigue; some players are open books and some you can watch every weekend but not know too much more about them.

Lindon McGrady is playing his 150th game for the Tweed Seagulls this week against their archrival the Burleigh Bears, but over the course of those 150 games the mysterious nature of McGrady endures.

McGrady has been a constant in the Hostplus Cup since 2018 and will be the sixth most capped Seagull and 86th player to play 150 games across the Hostplus Cup.

The quietly spoken Seagull goes about his football with little fuss or fanfare.

He has let his goal kicking, leadership or dangerous returns of the football roar loudly.

“Playing 150 games for one club fills me with a lot of joy, playing with my cousin Brayden was a big deal at home,” McGrady said.

“There was a game where we beat the Hunters in PNG, I loved that win,

“We only won by four and we were up 14-0 at half time but it was just a solid win that we needed.

“It was right at the start of my Cup career, and we haven’t been able to beat them again over there.”

“I think one of my best memories is the people that have come through here, every single staff member or CEO has been great,

“Tweed always seems to attract good people, good rugby league people.

“I am proud to have played so much for one club, I love it here at Tweed and I love playing in the Hostplus Cup.”

Tweed coach Dave Penna knows the value of his captain.

“Lindon is more like a mate than a player, we have been together so long,” Penna said.

“150 games are a massive achievement and at one club is even more impressive,

“Lindon’s worth to our team is his leadership, his ability to read and understand a game.

“There was a game against the Tigers we needed something, and he’s picked up the ball on our line and engineered a 100 metre try.

“If you watch him, he’s moving towards the ball before the ball is in motion,

“The ball bounces for players like that because they understand it,

‘I am very proud of him, he’s worth more than 150 games to us.”

On Saturday when Tweed Seagulls need something, they won’t give the ball to the loudest player they will look for their leader who will roar with his actions and mystery.
