'They schooled us': Teenage rivals set to collide in NRLW decider
Jesse Southwell and Chantay Kiria-Ratu headline the NRLW's next generation of stars with the pair set to renew their rivalry on Sunday in the grand final at Accor Stadium.

Southwell said she was not surprised by the Titans upsetting the Roosters at Allianz Stadium to advance to their first-ever grand final just hours after the Knights beat the Broncos in front of a record standalone NRLW crowd.
“The Titans have been a good side all year. The Roosters, and it’s not shade towards them, but I haven’t really seen them fight back being a try or two down. There wasn’t a lot of resolve.
“It wasn’t a shocking result. I expected them to get through based on how their season went but the Titans are a great side and never quit.
Well she might not have meant it as shade but I appreciated it as such.
