Aviso Broking Community – Proudly supporting our customers
At Aviso Broking we proudly support our clients. Midway Metals has been a client of Aviso Broking for a number of years. Fred Wicks (Financial Controller at Midway Metals) has been with the company for 14 years and Hudson Wicks (Fred’s son) has been with Midway Metals since December 2021.
Recently Aviso Broking received great news from Fred, Tracy and Hudson Wicks at Midway Metals. Hudson has been selected in the Australian Physical Disability Rugby League (PDRL) team!!
Hudson at 19 years of age, has been playing for the GC Titans PDRL for the past 3 years.
The Australian PDRL side will travel to England in mid-October to play in the 2022 Rugby League World Cup.
Hudson will be part of the Australian 20-man squad plus coach, manager and support staff who will play against England, Wales & New Zealand.
The tour comprises of:
- A training camp in Sydney
- Return flights to the United Kingdom
- Training in the UK
- Tournament runs for a week
- Home
It’s going to be a whirlwind tour and an incredible experience.
Fred and Tracy are incredibly proud of Hudson and his achievements despite his obstacles. Fred and Tracy said, “We’ve been fortunate to see the benefit that the boys and community get from having an active PDRL team on the Gold Coast. Anyone who has seen the boys (and girls) play knows the joy it brings to all involved.”
The trip has been made possible by many generous sponsors and donations. An overseas campaign of this size and duration requires a mammoth effort and support. The trip is heavily subsidised, but every dollar raised gives the team the chance to play their best and bring home the World Cup. The squad is looking for more generous donations. If you’d like to help support the Australian side, you can make a tax-deductible donation through the Australian Sports Foundation specifically for the PDRL World Cup.

What is PDRL:
Physical Disability Rugby League (PDRL) is a full contact version of the game adapted for participants with a physical disability who want to access a running version of Rugby League.
PDRL was initially developed in Australia by founder George Tonna. PDRL made its way over to the UK where Warrington Wolves and Leeds Rhinos played the first ever game of PDRL in the northern hemisphere in early 2018.
More About the Project
