Whatever complaints there are about our women’s league it’s not even close to being anywhere near as bad as this. I’m glad the NRL is approaching developing the NRLW a bit more cautiously. Our grand final this year was a ripper

Take goals out of AFL and not much remains, other than all the fumbling. This seems to be the problem for AFLW. Not sure what they can do - reduce the size of the pitch? 6 points for a behind?

Our WSL GF was also "a ripper". Albeit a very different type of game from NRLW GF. If anyone wants to glimpse the future of women's RL in the UK, and can find it online, check out the Wigan try in their semi against Saints.
