  • Awesome news. Lets hope every NRL team has an NRLW team soon with the games as a curtainraiser to the NRL games. It would be great to see the Eels fans at Bankwest cheering on the womens team every home game.

  • Great news for the club and the NRLW.

"Well by process of elimination we have to go really. NRL would want us to with our fanbase. Added to that is they wanted us for 2025 to play Penrith and we said no as Ryles was in year 1."
