Ex-Sydney Roosters duo Ben Marschke<\/a> and Ben Thomas<\/a> have decided to sign with a new team ahead of the 2026 season, which will allow them both to continue their respective rugby league playing careers.<\/p>\n Following multiple seasons with the Kincumber Colts in the Rugby League<\/a> Central Coast (RLCC) competition, which saw them win the title in 2025, the two players have decided to head south to link up with the South Eastern Seagulls.<\/p>\n Established in 1957, the Seagulls compete in the South Juniors A-grade competition and are coming off a disappointing campaign this year, finishing near the bottom of the ladder despite being coached by John Sutton<\/a>.<\/p>\n The arrival of the two former Roosters will add not only much-needed skill to the roster but also a plethora of experience and knowledge.<\/p>\n The twin brother of former\u00a0St George Illawarra Dragons<\/a>\u00a0playmaker\u00a0Jesse Marschke<\/a>, Ben appeared in 13 first-grade appearances for the Roosters in 2021 after being called up from their feeder club and has spent time in the\u00a0Canterbury Bulldogs<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Penrith Panthers<\/a>\u00a0reserve-grade system.<\/p>\n
