“WHITE jerseys are a rare sight on rugby league fields, so imagine the looks Sr Kathleen Carroll got when she ran out on the oval in a white habit.

The Josephite nun, known in her coaching days as Sr Francis, would reminisce about the stains on her white habit left by the young boys who cuddled into her to form a scrum.“

What a remarkable story!  She was a nun, yet more of a Rugby League missionary than most of us will ever be!  Also, I believe the Logan-Woodridge area (and the specific club that she founded) nowadays produces a lot of Brisbane's best RL talent!
