The Canberra Raiders website has announced that Alanna Dummett and Ella Ryan, members of the Raiders NRLW squad, will be taking the field for Mounties in the upcoming semi-final clash against the Illawarra Steelers in the Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership.
Dummett, a seasoned player who has already notched up three games for Mounties this season, is no stranger to tough competition having also played two NRLW games earlier in the year.
Mounties, known for their impressive track record and fierce determination, are aiming to defend their title in 2024 following their nail-biting 1-0 victory over the Bulldogs in last year's grand final.
Dummett will be joining forces with fellow Raiders teammates Simaima Taufa, Sereana Naitokatoka, Tommaya Kelly-Sines, and Kerehitina Matua, all of whom played a crucial role in securing the championship title.
