Leading the Way: Wattles Announce Inaugural Club Captains
In 2026, the club takes an exciting step forward with the introduction of its inaugural Club Captains, recognising two outstanding young men who embody everything Wattles stands for.
Will Peters and Marty May have been named as the club’s first-ever captains, an honour that reflects years of dedication to the green and gold.
Both players have come through the junior ranks at Wattles, developing not only their skills in rugby league, but also a deep connection to their club and community.
Their contribution extends well beyond game day.
From lending a hand around the grounds to supporting younger players and stepping up as referees and volunteers.
Will and Marty represent the kind of leadership that cannot be measured by statistics alone.
They lead by example, showing respect, resilience, and a genuine commitment to their teammates and the wider Wattles family.
The introduction of Club Captains marks an important milestone for Wattles.
It creates a strong player voice within the club and sets a benchmark for what it means to wear the jersey with pride.
This role is not just about leadership on the field, it is about carrying the values of the club in every interaction, every training session, and every moment in the community.
As the 2026 season gets underway, there is no doubt Will and Marty will inspire the next generation of players coming through the ranks.
Their journey is a true reflection of what can be achieved through grassroots sport, where passion, opportunity, and community come together.
From grassroots to greatness, the future of Wattles is in very good hands.
