The QCCS Mackay Cutters may have had a break from Hostplus Cup action last weekend, but significant developments off the field have kept the club in the spotlight. The Cutters are pleased to announce the appointment of David Roberts as their new Chief Executive Officer, commencing his role on Monday, 5th August.
Following a rigorous recruitment process, David Roberts emerged as the ideal candidate to lead the club.
"Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to the Board for giving me this opportunity. I am excited for the challenging work that lies ahead. Having been a part of this club for the past decade, I am honoured to take on the responsibility of leading it towards even greater success," Roberts said.
In addition to this new appointment, the Cutters have made the difficult decision to part ways with Hostplus Cup Head Coach, Michael Comerford. The club released a statement expressing their gratitude for Michael's dedication and hard work during his tenure.
"We want to thank Michael who has worked tirelessly in his role for the Club over his tenure. We would like to wish Michael and his family the very best in the future and we are very grateful for his services to the Club. The club would like to respect Michael’s privacy and will not make further comments on this matter."
Adam Cuthbertson, a former professional rugby league player with extensive experience in both the NRL and Super League, will step in as Interim Head Coach for the remainder of the 2024 season. Cuthbertson, known for his versatility on the field as a loose forward, prop, and second-row forward, brings a wealth of knowledge to his new role. He has previously played for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, St. George Illawarra Dragons, and Newcastle Knights in the NRL, as well as the Leeds Rhinos in the Super League.
Looking ahead, the Cutters face a challenging match against the Norths Devils at Denison Park, Bowen, this Saturday. The Devils have historically been the stronger side, winning 75 per cent of their encounters, including 12 of the past 16 games. The game is scheduled for 3:30 pm on Saturday, 27th July, and promises to be a thrilling contest.
