There have been some absolutely cracking games in the semi final series including an extra time win by the Central Coast to go to the GF/
So get out to Bank West Stadium this weekend and watch the Central Coast play North Sydney in the GF.
The sydney shield and presidents cup as well should be a great day

Yes its true you should not be pressured. But if you are dumb enough to buy crap you can't afford then well cop the consequences.

I do think Gerry is a knob that doesn't get the whole online presence, but I am happy they invest in RL

Queensland seals first Women's State Of Origin victory

Queensland Women v New South Wales Women

The Queensland Maroons are celebrating their first Women's State Of Origin victory in six years with a 24-18 victory over a hard finishing NSW side at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

Despite having a gale force wind behind them in the first half, the Queensland Maroons could only manage the one first half try and that came through Broncos superstar Tamika Upton who turned something into nothing. Upton took a kick on her own 20m and then just put on the afterburners as she charged upfield and beat a desperate effort from Botille Vette-Welsh.

The Blues would've been happy with their first half effort despite blowing their own chances early on. New South Wales opened their scoring through Kezie Apps when she got the advantage of a good bounce from a Melanie Howard kick to score. Melanie Howard who set up the try levelled the scores at 6-6.

After having all the momentum at the back end of the first half, the Blues were quickly required to play catch up football again after Tamika Upton put her second try on the board after Tarryn Aiken went through to score for the Queenslanders.

Momentum had well and truly swung in favour of the home side and Tarryn Aiken was rewarded with her own four-pointer when she was able to pick a hole in the Blues defensive line after being gifted field position of the back of a penalty. Queensland then looked to have put the game beyond reach when veteran Steph Hancock showed she's a multi-skilled player when she fooled the Blues defence out of dummy half by stepping to the right and throwing the dummy before going over.

Despite the Maroons leading 24-6, the game wasn't as one-sided as it read on paper and New South Wales weren't going to die wondering as they looked to close the gap. The Blues would need three converted tries if they were to draw level and with just under 10 minutes to go they started the somewhat of a comeback when Tiana Penitani scored her maiden State Of Origin try in the corner. The conversion from Hannah Southwell didn't go anywhere near the posts meaning the Blues would still need another three tries.

New South Wales weren't going to let the game go without a fight as they added a try with just two minutes to go when the veteran teamed up with the rookie. The Blues added another try with Filomina Hanisi scoring off the back of a pass from veteran hooker Kylie Hilder to the rookie who is 25 years younger than Hilder. A shocking conversion miss from Quincy Dodd who missed from almost in front had almost fully closed the door for the blues.

Still with a chance of pulling off the miracle, New South Wales put a scare down the Queensland side as Botille Vette-Welsh went through with just under a minute to score and another missed conversion meant that NSW had 8 seconds to come up with a game equalling play.

Sadly for NSW, that play never came to fruition with the ensuing kick-off going into touch sealing victory for the Maroons with their first victory under the new format and their first victory over NSW since 2014.

the blues trainer played, I read she 45 years old,

She is not 45 but close. She was brought in as a mentor and in a dual role player/assistant coach.
Kyle is a terrific player and leader. But its hard to lead and play when your coach is a moron and clueless

Anyone have anything to report about the 2021 HNWRL ?
I see Glebe have put a side in and after telling everyone how they were investing in the women's game the Bulldogs have flicked their side.
I have heard only a couple have been picked up by mounties, wonder where the rest are going ?

Looks like planning is in effect for the 2022 HNWP NSW comp.
Canberra are in as are Newcastle. Good for Newcastle, was kind of sad when they got rolled by the CC.
It also sets Canberra up nicely for entry into the NRLW for 2022..

As expected Cabra are not returning next year, but surprisingly Glebe have been punted. But they haven't been told officially, everyone else has been told but them. I think they deserved at least another year to get it right
