Corban Baxter claims NRLW's competitive balance is shifting, highlighting recent upsets like Canberra's defeat of Brisbane, suggesting no need for a tiered salary cap.
Fullback Corban Baxter believes the days of the NRLW competition being a two-horse race are over, as it can't be guaranteed her Sydney Roosters and Brisbane will meet again in this year's grand final.
Canberra produced the upset of the season in a 28-4 demolition of the Broncos last Sunday, inflicting the club's biggest defeat to end a 15-game winning streak.
It came at a time when frustrated critics were predicting a second-successive Roosters-Brisbane final with both teams making undefeated starts to the season and being a cut above their opposition.
It also prompted renewed calls for the competition to adopt a tiered salary cap system, which would spread the number of representative players around as the pair host a plethora of talent.
