Lucky 13: Plath's bold move that led to Maroons debut
It was the day that sealed Max Plath’s fate and set him on the path to a Maroons call-up.
On a stunning day at Kayo Stadium on April 2, 2023 playing Hostplus Cup for Wynnum Manly Seagulls, Plath adorned the No.13 jersey for the first time – and a monster was created.
He entered a train-and-trial in Brisbane Broncos pre-season as a budding half.
He finished that game with two tries, three line breaks, eight runs for 117 metres, five tackle breaks and 22 tackles as well as acting as the classic link-man crucial to a modern footy side, in a losing cause.
The next day Plath received a call from recruitment guru Peter O’Sullivan asking if he wanted to be a Dolphin, no doubt ruffling a few feathers in the Seagulls’ famed ‘Chook Pen’.

Queensland State of Origin player reveals how Brisbane Broncos missed out on signing him
Queensland rookie Max Plath has opened up about the career-defining move from the Brisbane Broncos that leaves him on the cusp of an Origin debut for the Maroons. The hard-working Dolphins forward – known as 'Mr Versatile' to his teammates – was picked at lock in Billy Slater's 20-man squad, ahead of Broncos premiership winner and Kangaroos Test star, Patrick Carrigan.
It's no mean feat for the 24-year-old, who has been outstanding for Kristian Woolf's Dolphins since making his NRL comeback from an ACL injury in Round 2 this year. Plath also featured at hooker in the absence of Jeremy Marshall-King earlier this season, and his ability to play any position across the forward line makes him a valuable commodity for Slater.
