[edit] History

Wynnum-Manly first played in the Brisbane premiership in 1931, but withdrew from the competition with 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 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.
