History

Wynnum-Manly first played in the Brisbane premiership in 1931, but withdrew from the competition at the outbreak of World War II. After the war, the Seagulls re-entered the premiership in 1951 as the Wynnum Manly District Rugby League Football Club.

Before moving to their current home ground of BMD Kougari Oval in 1967, the club played at Kitchener park. (Kitchener Park is now the home of the Wynnum Manly Junior Rugby League Club.)

The Seagulls won the Brisbane premiership in 1982, 1984, 1986 and 1995. They were runners up in 1985. Wynnum Manly Seagulls have a very successful coach, Shane Mcnally. In 2007 they haven't played as well as they would have liked but are aiming for the finals next year. Famous former Seagulls include Wally Lewis (the king) and Gene Miles.The seagulls made the finals in 2008 but in the first semi were un sucssesful losing 50-16 against Redcliffe Dolphins.
