The nib Newcastle Knights put out a call to the community to nominate some of the outstanding women in league across New South Wales.... and the results are in!
From coaches, club secretaries, players, women working in the media to the jack of all trades, the Club received a number of worthy nominees that have and continue to make a fantastic contribution to the sport of rugby league.
After a rigorous judging process, 21 worthy winners have been carefully selected, with each to have their name on the back of a Knights playing jersey when they take on the New Zealand Warriors in Round 22 for the NRL's Women in League Round.
Ladies Who League founder Mary Konstantopoulos became the first Woman in League nomination to be selected, recognised for her dedication and hard work in promoting the game.
She was thrilled and humbled to receive the honour.
