Parkwood Sharks Rugby League Club
💙🤍🦈 IT’S FOREVER — ONE RUGBY LEAGUE FAMILYThere are times when rugby league feels very big.And then there are weeks like these, when suddenly the jerseys, the scoreboards, the rivalries and the club colours become very, very small.Right now, there is an enormous amount of heartache across our wider rugby league community.Our hearts are particularly with our friends at Coomera Cutters and the families, teammates, coaches, volunteers and friends who are experiencing an unimaginable loss.We also hold close those at Southport Tigers and Te Hau Tai Tonga (South’s Maoris) who are supporting families through separate serious accidents at recent rugby league carnivals.And sadly, grief within our rugby league family is not something confined to the past few weeks.This year Parkwood has farewelled two of our own.Tugun and Beaudesert has experienced the loss of a committee member.Other clubs, families and communities have carried losses and struggles that many of us may never even know about.Different clubs. Different circumstances. Different families. But the same game connects us.And right now, perhaps the most important thing we can do is remind each other that you do not have to carry the hard stuff alone.💙 PLEASE REACH OUT.Reach into your inner circle.Reach into your outer circle.Talk to your partner. Your parent. Your brother. Your sister. Your mate. Your teammate. Your coach. Your manager. Your committee member. Your neighbour. Your GP.Talk to someone you haven’t spoken to for six months if they’re the person you know will listen.And if the first person doesn’t quite understand — tell another one.You don’t need to have the perfect words.You don’t need to be able to explain exactly what is wrong.You don’t need to wait until things become unbearable before asking for help.Sometimes it can simply start with:“I’m not doing so great.”And for the rest of us — look around.Check on the loud one.Check on the quiet one.Check on the person who always seems to have everything together.Check on the coach, the volunteer, the parent standing alone, the teammate who has gone a little quiet and the mate who hasn’t been around lately.Ask twice.Listen without judgement.Don’t try to fix everything. Sometimes your job is simply to sit beside someone and help them take the next step.Because there is something else we want every member of our Sharks family — particularly our young people — to remember:It’s forever.The impact we have on the people who love us is forever.The place we hold within our families, our friendships, our teams and our club is forever.A moment of overwhelming pain does not need to become a permanent decision.There is help. There are people who will listen. There are professionals whose entire job is to help carry you through the moments when life feels too heavy.And asking for that help is something we should encourage just as strongly as we encourage asking a physio about an injury or a coach about our footy.🏉 WHERE TO REACH OUT📞 Lifeline — 13 11 1424/7 crisis support.Text: 0477 13 11 14📞 Kids Helpline — 1800 55 1800Free, confidential support 24/7 for young people aged 5–25.📞 Beyond Blue — 1300 22 463624/7 mental health support.📞 13YARN — 13 92 7624/7 crisis support from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander crisis supporters.📞 White Cloud Foundation — 07 3155 3456Tele-mental health support.

Parkwood Sharks Rugby League Club
🦈 SHARKS, WE NEED ALL HANDS ON TUESDAY NIGHT! 🦈We appreciate that the season is done but the jobs don’t stop. We’d love to see as many of our Sharks families as possible down at the club to help us tackle a working bee ahead of hosting our international guests.We’ve got a list a mile long, but with every extra set of hands, we’ll have it knocked over in no time. 💪Bring the kids down, let them run around, play and enjoy their club on what would normally be a training night, while we roll up our sleeves and get stuck in.This weekend we’ll be welcoming plenty of visitors to witness what PARKWOOD is all about. We want to make sure our clubhouse and grounds are looking their absolute best. This is our home, and it’s time to make her absolutely shine and put her proudly on display. 💙Whether you can give us the whole evening or just 30 minutes, every ounce of help counts.Many hands really do make light work — and when our Sharks community comes together, there’s not much we can’t get done.🦈💙 See you at the club Tuesday night, Sharks! ...
