Mark Nicholls expressed pride in his sister Claire, a Raiders physio, inspiring others in rugby league.
It was a special reunion for Mark Nicholls when the Dolphins played Canberra in Round 8, with his family there not only to cheer him on, but also to support his sister Claire, the Raiders physio.
As the two clubs prepare for their respective Women in League matches, Nicholls spoke of the pride he felt in seeing his sister working with his former club, and how people like Claire continue to inspire others to take on roles across the game.
"My sister growing up was really good at swimming - she's two years younger than me, she left the family home when she was 15-16 - and went to Terrigal when we as a family were living in Canberra to pursue her dreams of becoming an Olympic swimmer and studied while she was doing that," Nicholls said.
