  • 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.

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

  • Maybe this is why we are chasing Woods.
