TIM BURGER
Send us Fan Mail People of the Pirates with LA | EP12 – Tim Burger Some people find rugby league. Others find a community that changes their life. Born and raised in Canada, Tim Burger grew up on the ice with a hockey stick in hand. Fast forward a few years and he’s traded skates for footy boots, becoming a passionate rugby league supporter and a die-hard Cronulla Sharks tragic. Today, Tim is the dedicated Secretary of the Noosa Pirates, helping steer the club behind the scenes while playing a key role in one of the club’s greatest success stories. But his journey hasn’t been without incredible adversity. Tim shares the remarkable story of surviving a light plane crash, the long and challenging road back to health, and the physical and mental battle that followed. He opens up about the defining moment in his recovery—the day he stopped asking “Why me?” and started embracing the miracle that he was still here. It’s a powerful lesson in gratitude, resilience and perspective that will resonate with everyone. At the Pirates, Tim has been instrumental in building our female rugby league program from just a handful of girls into a thriving community of more than 120 female players. His passion for creating opportunities has helped shape the future of the club, and it’s especially fitting that his own daughter is set to become the first Noosa Pirates junior to earn a prestigious 10-Year Jacket. This is a conversation about family, community, overcoming adversity and giving back to a club that’s become home. A ripper yarn with one of the great people behind the Blue & Gold.
