NRLW NRLW and Women's Rugby League General Discussion 2026

Don't like seeing the Cherrington sisters happy.

disgusted i feel sick GIF
 
An intriguing final round with the Titans in 6th on 9 points, and the Eels and Bulldogs in 7th and 8th on 8 and 7 points respectively

Titans play the Raiders - win and in.

Lose, and hope the Dogs beat Parra by less than the difference in their game and the current -92 difference.

Eels and Bulldogs play each other - if Titans lose, potentially either team could make finals. Eels just have to win, but the Dogs could make it if they flog the Eels and the Raiders put a score on the Titans

Bulldogs and Eels play first, so the Titans will know what they have to do.

Knights, Cows and Sharks are all playing for 3rd-5th. 3rd and 4th get home finals.

We can snatch 1st if the Sharks can upset the Roosters and we beat the Cows, but regardless we have a week off with a home prelim in two weeks. If I was the Roosters, I'd almost want to drop a game, because it's coming and I wouldn't want it to be in a finals knockout. But argument could be made that losing a game now could derail them once they've experienced a loss and it could easily become a second and they're out.

Poor Tigers need at least one try to try and break the 100 points for the season. Pretty dire, to not even average 10 points per game. Hopefully with Noddy not seeking a renewal a new coach can breath some life into the place, although it is the Tigers after all.
 
Kelly named to return for the Roosters.

Only misses one game in the end.

Because of course she does
 
Costly win for the Roosters.

Aiken and Hall both picking up injuries and failing to play the whole game.

A part of me hopes they aren't gone for the season. I don't want any excuses when we beat them for the premiership.
 
What a time to score for the Titans.

They score in the 67th minute and Brown converts the goal to make it 16-16.

We're going to Golden Point. A draw will be enough for the Titans to jump Eels into 6th.
 
I wouldn't risk it trying to go for the win.

I would keep kicking the ball into touch in the corner. Slow the game down and keep Raiders up their end.
 
Or just nail one the first chance you get lol.

Lauren Brown wins the game for the Titans.

Titans are in the finals, Eels are out.
 
ACL injury for Aiken.

It's pretty much going to rule her out for next season as well. Best case scenario she's back very late in the season.
 
NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo said: “The NRLW season has thrilled fans across Australia and New Zealand with more attacking football, faster play the balls and more ball in play than we’ve ever seen in the competition, leading to the most attended and watched home and away season on record.”

Two things I take out of this:

6 agains are coming for the NRLW

And

It’s laughable the world of spin they exist in to try and promote this year’s comp being the most attended and watch in history when you’ve simply had a further two teams enter the competition along with a magic round and a double header somewhere every week.

Of course it will be when you have more games you dumbasses.
 
6 agains in the women's game is going to be a disaster.

We're going to see a lot more lopsided scorelines.

You're talking about Andrew Abdo here, all he does is talk in skewed statistics.
 

Good to see the girls get rewarded with …. only 4 players who are usually picked anyway (Ali, Tamika, Julia, Keilee)

Ferguson outpointed Davis in the GF but doesn’t get a look-in.

Gotta keep the NSW cabal of Kelly, Sergis, Davis, Verran, Clydsdale, Penitani, Dodd etc together

Still don’t know why Whitfeld keeps getting picked also. Yeah she’s fast, but I don’t get the hype

Edit: 3 players. Keilee is a Parra rep now

I presume it's on the back of origin and rooster seasons. Certainly the players you mentioned could have been picked. Sergis was poor in the GF and agree some of the incumbents appear to have been passed
 
Well, Keilee's gone.


The Parramatta Eels are thrilled to announce the signing of 2025 Premiership winner Keilee Joseph for the 2026-27 seasons.

Yuck, the Cherringtons.
