I’d love to see Leah Burke get an NRLW contract, she’s an excellent finisher.

I’m wondering if the tall Giants player is Amelia Brown, if so she is a freakish talent.

Shame there’s no video available, I’d love to watch the next players coming through. was it a good game ?

Captain Bryony King is a big loss, she is only 19yo and could have developed into a top quality league player.

How did Jess Sharp go on debut for York Valkyrie ? I watched Huddersfield Giants v Oulton Raidettes, Amelia Brown scored 3 long range tries but has gotten even bigger, just hope she doesn’t lose any speed or agility. The other big prospect at the Giants to keep an eye out for is Lois Naidole and she scored 2 tries.

There’s 2 players who made debut for Saints that we need to keep an eye out for Lucy McColm & Megan Williams. I saw a couple of games they played in last year and those 2 stood out above the other Saints youngsters.

I hope so, she is certainly good enough. The thing that has stood out so far is her defence is excellent and when you combine that with her utility value plus goal kicking, she’d be a good pickup.

Yes great scouting, she’s making her York debut this week.

Fran Goldthorp has signed for the North Queensland Cowboys/Girls. It hasn’t been officially announced yet but it is definitely a done deal. Great to see imo, thank god for the NRLW otherwise I think we may have lost her to Rugby Union.

Just on Hull KR, they have a 17yo back rower Jess Sharp who is actually contracted to York Valkyrie and loaned back to KR, she has it all imo, size and skill with loads of ability. Definitely one to watch.

Georgia started on the wing today with Evania Pelite at fullback, Georgia had a good game and scored her first try for the club and kicked 4 goals. She looked quite sharp with ball in hand, it was good to see her play the last 5-10 minutes at fullback.

Hollie Mae Dodd becomes the first English player to officially sign for an NRLW club, Canberra Raiders. Congratulations to her and hopefully more to follow.

Hollie-Mae Dodd has just been officially announced by the Raiders, maybe they are happy for her to have a home farewell appearance. can’t wait to watch, it’s live on YouTube so I’ll be able to view it.

I know at least one club are considering an offer for Tara but I’m not sure if she would even accept. Her partner also plays for York Valkyrie, so that could go against a potential move unless they come as a duo.

Agree, A Saints pack would potentially look like this; Crowl Jones Hoyle Travis Rudge Jodie C with Vicky Whitfield coming off the bench. that is still the best pack in the league in my opinion. Zoe Harris is class and hopefully Faye Gaskin can stay fit & healthy although I heard she did her hamstring a little while ago.

Bousquet is in the best form of his career at the moment imo. Does anyone know when the centre Legguere is back from injury ?

I think Tara, Caitlin Beevers & Leah Burke would go well in the NRLW.

I really hope they play Jodie at number 6 especially now Roche looks like she won’t be available. That would allow room for a bigger pack as it was a bit small v the Kiwis in the WC.

I don’t know if it’s true but I heard Hollie Dodd was emotional after last weeks win v Leeds as it was her last game before heading over to the NRLW. If true that is a big loss for York but they do have depth as shown with Grace Field & Rhi Marshall on the bench. My gut feel is that Saints will be fired up for this one and even though their backs are weak they are still strong in the forwards & halves.

Well it actually makes the WSL a bit more even, all the clubs are loaded with younger players now. saints lost 4 internationals and have replaced them with young talents and now it looks like Leeds lose 2 of their gun players.

It’s exciting in my opinion, Georgia Wilson is already out here playing well in a strong competition so I hope she gets a start too. Caitlin Beevers & Leah Burke would both go well too.

I have seen that Georgia Roche is out, as is Fran Goldthorp.

Unfortunately won’t be on in Australia, should be a really interesting game with so many questions, how will Georgia Hale go and will Amy Hardcastle play in the forwards ? if she does I’m not sure how she will handle the big York pack. I think the difference will be Leeds have the edge in the halves.

I really hope a club takes a chance on at least one English player, Georgia Wilson is currently playing well and will get better and there’s rumours Georgia Roche could get an offer.

Jack Croft is playing for Wynnum too, scored a try last week but seems to have a bad mistake in him every game.
