Broncos ignite season with record-breaking win; Raiders start strong then slump in NRLW.
After starting the season on a low, losing to the Eels and Roosters, the Broncos finally found their groove and ignited their season last week, beating their "little sister" 44-4. The game saw NRLW records broken, with Mele Hufanga scoring four tries in one match for the second time in her career, which equals the NRLW and Broncos record for tries scored in one match, and the Brisbane side also breaking their record for biggest win margin.
Shenae Ciesiolka moves back into starting centre, returning to the squad through the bench last week after recovering from a fracture. Lavinia Gould moves onto the bench, with Jada Ferguson playing as starting hooker. Lauren Dam returns to the squad after missing the Titans clash, and Skyla Adams is 18th player.
The Raiders started their season on a high note, beating the Tigers 32-12 on away turf. They then descended into a slump, losing to the Knights and Sharks at home in Round 2 and 3 respectively.
