Rugby league training for east Brisbane, bayside & Redlands
From Coorparoo out to the bay and across to the islands, Brisbane’s east has two Cup clubs with long histories — the Tigers since 1917, as Coorparoo, and the Seagulls at Kougari Oval. Which one your club belongs to decides the program you trial for.

Brisbane’s east is shared by two Queensland Cup clubs. The Brisbane Tigers — Easts until 2020 — play at Langlands Park in Coorparoo, and their juniors still play as Eastern Suburbs Tigers. The Wynnum Manly Seagulls’ affiliated junior clubs are Wynnum Manly, Capalaba Warriors, Redlands, North Stradbroke Island, Russell Island, Beenleigh and Slacks Creek. Both field Cyril Connell Cup (under-17) and Mal Meninga Cup (under-19) teams.

Set it up for East Brisbane, bayside & Redlands
Four things, in the order the app asks them. None of them needs a coach.
Choose rugby league, then your team nights
Onboarding asks “When do you train with your team?” Pick your club nights — Cyril Connell Cup and Mal Meninga Cup or wherever you play — and your gym and conditioning are scheduled around them, lighter the day after a big one. Tell it your equipment and any niggles and every exercise is fitted to both.
Match the program to your league’s start
The app treats November to February as rugby league pre-season and March to October as the season. A junior rep player whose games start in February can set their phase to in-season early. The phase lives in Program → Your year.
Know your numbers on day one
Your first testing session is ready immediately: Bronco test, Bench press 1RM, Weighted chin-up 3RM, Back squat 1RM, Standing vertical jump. It is re-run every 8 weeks, and the results re-price your training weights and conditioning paces.
Put your suburb on the board
In Social → Town, set where you train. Your minutes count toward that town’s weekly conditioning and strength top-10 boards — only the town is kept, never your location.
What you start with, by the month you join
Every block is four weeks — three building, one deload — so a free month is one complete block. The rugby league calendar and conditions are on the Brisbane guide.
