NRLW Semi Final Team list - Roosters vs Eels- 25/9/2022

[Andrew Walker]

Been guilty of not watching much of this comp this time around a lot of it being due to touch footy commitments But noticed a few more girls whom I know through touch football are playing. The Parra halfback Ash Quinlan was a super star at touch football Also noticed Teegan Dymock at the Dragons Gold Coast coach also played touch footy and the medal for the Player of match is named after her Karyn Murphy Will definitely have to watch some games next year too see these girls play

Girls will be fit next year after a 40 week off season

Massive chokers this year.

Jersey Flegg got bundled out early, SG ball we lost the GF, NSW Cup was shocking and bundled out early too along with this now.

Very disappointing season indeed.

[Insider]

It will be 10 teams next year with the Raiders/Cowboys/Sharks and Wests Tigers entering sides - so a top 5 or 6.

Penrith/Dogs/Souths/Storm are all keen to have a NRLW side - not sure what's happened to the Warriors or where the Dolphins are on this - Manly for instance for the first time will have a Women's Under 19's Tarsha Gale Cup side in 2023 with the intention of entering a NRLW side in 2025 or 2026.

The Cap is 350k for 24 players so obviously that will need to increase as the comp expands both cap and squad numbers wise.

A lot of work to do in the pathway areas though - juniors reps/comps/reserve grades sides etc

The Rooters have a fair System with Tarsha Gale Cup and Central Coast Roosters in the NSW Women's premiership providing pathway opportunities to NRLW as a minimum.

Sadly today was a poor performance in NRLW and they will be losing a fair few players with 4 new teams with plenty of cash to splash about.

Jamie Soward Dragons NRLW coach was saying the Dragons aren't able to match the offers from these new clubs to re-sign their best players and they are also targeting other teams best players. Buying a comp i think he called it

All NRLW players are off contract at the end of every comp - regular season since they can only sign 1 year deals.

The RLPA are pushing for 30k min contract payment going forward. So this would lead to a tripling of the womens cap from 350 to over a million if they get this through. With the extra 4 teams that is a big overall increase of money being funnelled into the womens game. Player payments would increase from 2.1m now to something like 11m next year, over500% increase.

Need to get something in place pretty soon with all NRLW players off contract and 10 teams in 2023 so clubs can sort out their rosters and players can sort out their futures as they still are part time players with jobs outside of footy and other responsibilities.

Surely multi year contracts will be looked at as so disruptive having other clubs contact players still involved in the finals and for the players themselves in not knowing where they will be playing from one season to the next.

I figure the 2023 NRLW comp will start in early June taking into account a 13 week season ( 9 regular season games and 4 week finals) and 2 standalone SOO Matches for the NRLW GF to be on the 1st October 2023 along with NRL GF

The above will mean a NRLW Preseason starting in late March/1st week of April - 8 or so weeks.

Not sure what will happen with the NSW Women's Premiership as NRLW players play in this comp which starts usually early April - be a reserve grade comp perhaps ? - Bears/CC Roosters/Knights/St Marys/Mounties/Souths/Sharks/Wests Tigers/Wenty Magpies field teams in this comp- Soward was saying St George Illawarra will also be fielding a team in this comp in 2023

The min pay rise is not over the top by any means and some may say not enough but it is going in the right direction at least.

[King Salvo]

that was unexpected. hard to win games with so many errors. 4 tries to 2 and we bombed 2 so as bad as we otherwise played we still created enough to get over the line but not to be.
maybe the b2b so soon after the previous premiership was a factor. we didn't lift for the semi.
still, well done to the girls for winning 7 straight and well done parra

Those 2 missed chances before and after half time were telling could have been up 16-12 - others with the foot in touch and held up over the line - on another day they would have scored them but nothing went right all game - 43% possession and only 53% set completions told the story in the end.

I think they are resigned to losing a few players maybe 1/3 or more of the squad - It's happened other years so they will cope and will have a strong squad again - Corban Baxter maybe back for 2023 - Brydie Parker will be definitely be back in 2023

Thirteen will enjoy this one….

I have seen Ash play on a few occasions in touch and you are not wrong AW.

She is a cousin of a mate of mine who I play touch with, used to play in the Vawdon Cup with him. But I am out this year due to injury......
