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.

I hope its good, they do have a fair bit of ground to get back after a really poor year last year, the poor results and the sacking of the entire LF and TG staff due to the handling of players behavioural issues.
They have this thing where they really want to alienate the people that did a lot of ground work for the female game in that area

As much as I think Brad Donald has been treated poorly, I think JEss Skinner is a good choice.
I still can't fathom why they keep picking youknowwho, well past it and its time to bite the bullet and move on. This seemed like the perfect time.,
