Canberra's NRLW finals campaign shows confidence despite facing the dominant Sydney Roosters, motivated by their veterans' retirements.
Canberra's first NRLW finals campaign has produced genuine belief, despite a preliminary-final meeting with the competition's dominant Sydney Roosters.
Sydney has won 27 of its past 28 matches since mid-2024, including two unbeaten regular seasons, with Brisbane's 2024 grand-final victory the only loss.
The Roosters are also motivated by the impending retirements of veterans Millie Elliott and Corban Baxter.
Canberra captain Zahara Temara, a former Roosters premiership winner, insists her team will not be intimidated.
