    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.

    I assume Brad Arthurs sister will be coach. Then we will have a pair of bush bum coaches.

      What about if you were more specific: "real women don't play rugby league"? Slugg, would that help? Let me know how you go.

        LOL. That will go down well. A former work colleague who unlike me was an avid punter (bit like Poppa and married to a woman) used to ask everyone who was in earshot: "Why do women have smaller feet?"

          There is a joke in there HOE about sinks and wasking up...

          I resent that Hoey, i have always been married to a woman, I have  noticed  though that when the dishes and the dirty clothes builds up, the sex is the same, you just realise your wife has gone shopping for a week.

          Slugg, Try "gentle-ladies" as in the female equivalent of "gentle-men".

    Great news, even if I've never watched a game of NRLW. What's happening with the women's cheerleaders, though? #allwomenmatter

    • Poppa > Hell On Eels June 11, 2021 at 7:09pm

      me too!

    Maybe this is why we are chasing Woods.
