Tweed ready to host Men of League
TITANS executive chairman Dennis Watt and football manager Anthony Laffranchi will be special guests at the Tweed District Men of League Sportsmen’s Luncheon at Seagulls next Friday.
Rugby league Immortal Mal Meninga, the Titans’ culture manager, is a long-time supporter of the Men of League and, despite commitments with the All Stars team, is almost certain to attend.
This is the third consecutive year the MOL luncheon has been at Seagulls and top Titans executive officers have been present each year to honestly answer the sometimes curly questions.
Laffranchi said there was a new attitude and atmosphere at the club under new coach Justin Holbrook and he felt that players and supporters were set for a successful season.
“Each year about this time we look forward to this luncheon and telling the gathering about plans we have and the exciting new young payers in our ranks,” Laffranchi said.
“Players and coaching staff coming to the luncheon will be announced next week but I can assure you that MC Neil Cadigan again will have some top interviews lined up with several exciting prospects,” he said.
Tweed District MOL secretary Tom Cassin said previous Sportsmen’s Luncheons at Seagulls had been a great success and early indications were that the 2020 function would be no different.
“Comedian Ellen Briggs is certain to be a big hit at the luncheon with her popular hilarious entertainment to cater for our gathering,” said Cassin.
Cost for the luncheon, which includes entertainment, a two-course meal and a threehour drinks package, is set at $100.
