The NRL Women's Premiership finals begin, featuring a historic top six format and exciting matchups.
The NRL Telstra Women's Premiership is nearing its exciting conclusion, with teams ready to enter the finals. This season marks a historic milestone, featuring a top six format for the first time.
The finals kick off this week with two elimination matches scheduled for Saturday. The Sydney Roosters, who went undefeated during the regular season, have secured the title of minor premiers. They, along with the Brisbane Broncos, will enjoy a bye in the opening week to prepare for challengers in Week 2.
Notably, all three Queensland teams are participating in the finals this year. This follows a nail-biting regular-season game where field goal expert Lauren Brown led her side to a 17-16 victory over the Raiders, enabling the Titans to surpass the Eels and clinch the sixth spot on the ladder.
