Do we know if anyone who signed on this season were signed for more than one season? Or will there be another exodus to (even more) expansion clubs, and we start over again...

Halfback Rachael Person signed for 3 years in April this year

Two to go, well it also could be none to go considering our retention abilities

Elsie Albert signed for two years , one to go

I noticed a bloke on the other site has stated that we are the only NRLW team that isn't represented in the NSW Cup for women. And don't have a 2nd tier side.

It begs the question how did we get a NRLW Licence in the first place without a 2nd tier side.

And is the club going to address this next season. By having a side in the Female NSW cup.

Good question

We dish up another season or two like we have, why keep us in the NRLW comp? Especially with no pathway like the nsw cup

Don't we have a Tarsha Gale cup side?

Hopefully Abbi Church is signed for another one or few too.

The Cherrington sisters seemed to get a bit of official social media push, hopefully they are (or will be) locked in for a while.

We need some sort of base of senior/decent talent signed on longer contracts, to build the other recruitment and retention around.

Tarsha Gale is 3rd tier I believe.

It's why Kennedy Cherrington is running around for the Bulldogs in the NSW Cup.

Because parramatta don't have one in the that comp.

How ridiculous is that.


Yep got you now this competition.



It also why alot of the women leave our team and go play for the same side in the NSW Cup and NRLW

EDIT*** The Wenty Team is in the NSW Cup though why dont the girls play for them?

Seems alot of our players go and play for the Dogs



Wonder how long they will stick around if the Dogs joined the comp

As per usual Parramatta are 3 years behind everyone else.

What a debacle this should have organised to get into that comp as well the moment we got the NRLW licence.

Good to know the board and footy operations have made us a complete laughing stock in this competition as well.

When they had a clean slate to get it right.

I am sure Gus will have them signed, sealed and delivered before MON gets out of his bed for a morning coffee.

if you're referring to the Harvey Norman womens comp than apparently we are fielding a side next season.

in saying that both Widders and Patmore need to go, the fact that we pretty much sat on our hands whilst we saw about 80% of gf team leave including 2 contracted players is an absolute disgrace.

The NRL should bring in the draft for the women's game....

Have a second division or under 20s run by non club affiliated sides and then have those players go into a draft.

Instead of having the strong clubs with the extra pull for media commitments just stacking their sides...
