They just said, medics assessing and family is with her. That does not sound great.

Also damaging. It makes it hard to find our WSL anywhere on the Internet.

In general, RL already suffers from the invisibility that comes from the conflation with RU.

The RFL need to do something. Have to be honest, I don`t know what. - WRLSL, doesn`t exactly trip off the tongue.

The best hope is that Women's Football realise what an opportunity they are missing by not calling themselves the WPL, and rebrand.

No it doesn’t hopefully they are just being extra cautious.

At least they didn't say 'rushed to hospital'

Agreed. I can't help but feel it worse for them as they are missing an opportunity to use the weight of the Premier League brand to showcase the women's game.

During York/Leeds in August, there was a twenty minute delay while Georgie Hetherington was assessed after a heavy knock. She was back playing three weeks later.

As you say, let`s hope it`s all precautionary.

[Futtocks]

Two finals down, one to go.

St Helens have been the form side in the women's game, and any other result would have been a surprise.

Se you on the Toulouse/Featherstone thread!

Why on earth did the football call their league the Women's Super League and not the Women's Premier League!

There already was a top tier Premier League and the Super League was created to sit above it.

That’s great, it’s more than several of our men’s Super League teams get at their home games too.

I watched both games at Headingley today, the Fev-Giants game was an absolute belter, end to end and fantastic effort from both sides, Giants again showed tremendous tenacity to hold on for the win, what an achievement to think most of them were originally signed up to play for the U19s.

The Leeds- Saints game wasn't a classic by any means but some good skill on show and Saints were dominant and never really looked like losing, Jodie Cunningham, Chantelle Crowl, Emily Rudge and Amy Hardcastle were superb for Saints and Hill, Beevers and Nuttall good for Leeds.

I took a friend from Kent who is staying at mine for the weekend and she's never seen RL before but absolutely loved it, she's already decided she's bringing her family up for the world cup next year

Fantastic day, great crowd, wonderful atmosphere great rugby league.

How classy is Courtney Winfield-Hill?

Great asset for RL.

Every one of the post match interviews brought a smile to my face.  Loved watching it - what a credit to the sport these girls are.  Fantastic stuff.

According to the Leeds Twitter page, Sophie Nuttall "has sprained ligaments in her neck and spent the night in hospital".

I have no medical expertise, so don`t know how to interpret that, but coach Lois Forsell is also quoted as saying "glad it`s nothing too serious".

[RigbyLuger]

It's shows what great care our medical personnel take, and why it's a shame the WSL lost fixtures this year because that hadn't been arranged.
