With the establishment of the Women’s Rugby league team, this gives KARI Foundation and the Sydney Roosters the opportunity to promote the talent of young women especially our Indigenous players.
Casey Ralph KARI Foundation CEO said:

The WNRL provides an opportunity for young women to showcase their skills and passion for rugby league. This will be the backbone to open greater pathways for women in rugby league and hopefully one day see a female NRL coach.

During the night Sydney Roosters Board Member Andrew Crawford and Roosters CEO Scott Bennetts talked about the important role women play in the game of rugby league and now have centre stage to showcase their brilliance.
