QLD 2024 BMD Premiership

[Ride the Lion to Zion]

Very evident so far that NSW's U17-U19 female competitions standards have increased. QLD so far behind with some of the teams struggling for numbers.

Just noticed that this weekend sees the final round of the QLD under-17s comp.

So 15 teams, 4 rounds, many teams only playing 3 games.

That begs a lot of questions.

Losses
April Ngatupuna (rugby union),

What's the story here? She's listed as "Club Option" in the Cowboys NRLW squad. Played for the Cook Islands at the women's RLWC. Seemed to be fully committed to League.
