  • 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

    • me too!

  • Maybe this is why we are chasing Woods.
