NRLW 2025 Warriors NRLW Discussion

They're optimistic with the TBC return date for this season then!

Caitlan Johnston gave birth in May and returned this past weekend, playing 18 minutes off the bench.

Hill-Moana gave birth in April so, while Johnston is def an exception rather than the rule, it's not out of the question that she could return during/in the lead-up to finals. I wont hold my breath tho lol

Maddie Studdon move to the Warriors blocked as not a like for like replacement. Not totally surprised the NRL won't do us any favours

Shit that would've been a hell of a pick up.

I'd expect an appeal, I'm not sure what they mean by like for like in the circumstances but with Curtain done we desperately need a competent half. Would love for us to get Studdon

If Jesse Southwell ends up at the Bronx next year this comp is fucked.

What a shambles of a situation with Studdon - she misses out on a contract, we miss out on a half. Really amateur administration of the game.

If Southwell goes to the Broncos, might as well scrap the rest of the comp and just have them play the Roosters 3 times for the trophy considering they're each made up almost entirely of internationals and origin players.
