You never know, Jack! I think a lot of people wrote them off last week too.

NRLW grand final preview: Star-studded Roosters have edge in talent but Sharks are primed to strike

Ted, this has made me so happy! Thank you and I am so glad you are enjoying the NRLW.

I think it will be a cracker, enjoy it!!!

And don’t they have a few of those superstars, Jane!!

Noel, it took for the Cassie Staples try for me to finally thing that it was over.

I think the critical time was just before half time when the Broncos could not score after three repeat sets.

Broncos will be back bigger and stronger next year… I was gutted for Chelsea Lenarduzzi.

Honestly, farkurnell I thought of you on the weekend. What a defensive performance, one of the best I have ever seen. I’m looking forward to an awesome match up this weekend.

I’m hoping that the Sharks defence can stand right up to it, Jack!

I never say never, Farkurnell.

What I would say is that anything can happen. The Roosters have been the best team by far during the regular season but have lost the last two years in this very week. The Broncos may take the Sharks lightly.

It will be tough for the Sharks to get a win – but they can do it. The Broncos also missing Stacey Waaka which is a huge out!

NRLW Round 9 Talking Points: Four teams remain in the premiership race - but where did it all go wrong for the rest?

Oh Blocker! Good pick up. I am so sorry for the omission!! I will be sure to include them next week. How embarrassing – Kirra Dibb is also one of my favourite players in the comp.

Morz, I mean this genuinely. You say you don’t care about women’s rugby league yet you have made the time to find this article and make a comment. May I ask why? Wouldn’t you rather spend time commenting on things you actually care about.

I don’t care about golf – can’t remember a time where I have ever consumed any media about gold.

NRLW Round 8 Talking Points: Five into four won't go, Tigers earn stripes and the contenders who've become pretenders

AJ, the Raiders are a really funny one… they start games so strongly and then seem to really lose focus in the second half of games. They did lose a couple of close ones to start the year – I wonder whether that has had an impact? I genuinely thought they would push for top four this year.

NRLW Round 6 Talking Points: Dragons dominate, Tigers torn apart - and did the Broncos prove they can challenge Cronulla?

I cannot wait to see du Toit in action!!!

NRLW Talking Points: Round 5 - Knights, Titans get their groove back, Hall of Fame recognition long overdue

The Roosters are such an interesting team for me. If you had asked me before the season what might happen, I thought they would power through regular rounds and then potentially struggle in finals (as has been the case for the last couple of years now). They certainly look more vulnerable this year, but the pieces are all there – perhaps just waiting to click!

NRLW Talking Points: Round 5 - Knights, Titans get their groove back, Hall of Fame recognition long overdue

Noel, I assume that Steph Hancock will never be eligible for the Hall of Fame because she will never, ever retire. 😂 😂

ME TOO! How good is it, Mick?!

NRLW Round 4 Talking Points: What's Upton with the one-dimensional Knights, and can anyone stop the Sharks?

Hope to see you there, Terry!!

That is SO great to hear, Kirsty. Go Mackay!!

Agree!! And benefits the athletes who can generate more of an income at a time where they are still not full-time professional athletes.

Ahhhhh the catch cry of my life, Jane. Parramatta do it to me all the time.

NRLW Round 4 Talking Points: What's Upton with the one-dimensional Knights, and can anyone stop the Sharks?

Seriously impressive, especially considering injuries to Jada Taylor and Emma Tonegato, who you would say are amongst their best!

So great isn’t it, Terry! Hoping the team get a good crowd for their first home game this Saturday.

Noel, it really clicked for the Broncos on the weekend didn’t it. I never write them off, but they certainly gave the Titans a good shock.

The Cowboys are interesting too. I think Dibb and Manzelmann are amongst the best players in the competition, but there are still a lot of young players earning their place right now. Jakiya Whitfeld is another one to watch if she can get good early ball!

NRLW Round 3 Talking Points: Sharks stay perfect, upsets keep on coming

Astro, I didn’t know that! Thanks for sharing.

2024 NRLW Season Preview: Predictions, players to watch and why a new team will be crowned premiers

AJ, I think they will do really well. As I said, love the mix of players that they have in their squad. Should definitely be pushing for top four.

Dutski, I always find these season previews so hard, because honestly any team could surprise me. Again, wouldn’t write off a team that has Raecene McGregor and Teagan Berry! Chooks will be up there for sure.

Honestly Terry… it was the most Parramatta thing ever. The Blues win the series and all players EXCEPT ONE PARRAMATTA PLAYER get through unscathed…

State of Origin team of the series: Blues dominate, Latrell the one-hit wonder, Edwards vindicates big call
