Match Preview
Greetings for the women's rugby league championship! This competition has developed substantially and better each season, starting with only four squads back in 2018 to a considerably larger 12 teams. Surprisingly, the championship match includes the Roosters and Broncos in the grand final, similar to back in 2018.
The two sides have been remarkable during this year – the Roosters are yet to be defeated in 2025 and the Broncos have lost only one game. The two clubs boast superstars throughout their lineups and both are perfectly capable of claiming victory at their best.
Their previous encounter occurred in round three – back in July – when the Roosters secured a close win by a mere four-point margin. Throughout that match, the Roosters started strongly, built a significant half-time lead, before the Broncos staged a late game rally. Olivia Kernick scored a crucial final touchdown to secure the victory for the reigning champions in an entertaining encounter. If both teams replicate that intensity from that previous meeting, spectators are guaranteed a magnificent game today.
Given the anticipation ahead of us, let's begin!
