NRLW 2025 expansion - Bulldogs & Warriors

[ALX25]

Penrith are as well as they are entering a team in the 2025 Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership.

Manly/Souths/Penrith will all have teams in the Lisa Fiaola and Tarsha Gale cups and HNNWP and will be pressing for inclusion when the next expansion occurs.

Storm have only just started their Womens development program - have no teams entered in any of the above comps so are a few years away from where the above clubs are at.

After its inaugural season in the Harvey Norman Women's NSW Premiership this year, the Sea Eagles will pause the reserve grade team next year with a view to bringing it back in 2026.

NRLW Update

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles remains committed to fielding an NRLW team in 2027, with Chief Executive Officer Tony Mestrov re-affirming planning was on track towards the goal.

They should have to explain why.

Weird decision.

This manly thing smacks of the hypocrisy that exists in some NRL clubs. There are some at Manly that hate the woman's game and can't see the future. There are also other "professed gods" of RL that publicly seem to support the game but he thinks its a waste of money.

Its not long out of its "infancy" but its growing. Still mistakes made but it is a big part of the future of RL.

That will put them behind the others if they don't bring back that side as having an established Women's program from Junior Reps to NRLW is one of the main criteria i,e Lisa Fiaola Cup , Tarsha Gale Cup , Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership , NRLW as a minimum - The Roosters also have development programs/academies for under 14 to under 16's female players - both Sydney Roosters and Central Coast Roosters.

Sydney Roosters NRLW Coach John Strange has recently been appointed as head of the Roosters Women's Pathways ( Sydney Roosters and Central Coast Roosters).

Nick Politis , Roosters Board and Trent Robinson are 100% behind the Women's game
