NRLW 2026

Just noticed the girls draw for next year and it’s pretty brutal.
5 out of the first 6 games are all away and against what will probably be the top 5 teams. The get one easier home game against the Dragons in that whole time.

They get an easy ride home but they’ll really need to come out strong to jag a couple of wins early so we don’t get left behind.

Yeah I don’t understand what the explanation could be to such an imbalanced draw in terms of Home and Away games.

We got the 6 home games last year so makes sense we have 6 away this year but they’re very poorly spread out.

Both our men’s and women’s teams always get stuck travelling to Townsville. Can’t remember when either team got a home game against them. I know the Knights probably don’t want to host them because they don’t bring in any fans but still.
 
2023 we had 6 home games and 3 away games. Think it's just awkward trying to fit the NRLW games as an afterthought to the NRL draw while having them align for double headers or grounds not being available.
 
Yeah I know it’s very much an afterthought and has to marry up with the men’s but just seems pretty **** job they’ve done there
 
Good run home.
I think it will suit our young squad to get the Sharks, Roosters and Broncos over early in the season and then be a chance to go on a 7 game winning streak if we are good enough.
4 of the last 5 at home also gives us a chance to come into the finals at our best.

All we have to do is start with a young squad and get better every game all year and the title is ours - simple.
 
Tough draw, poor draw IMO... to get Broncos, Cows, Warriors and on top of that a 3 week run of consecutive away games too with trips to qld and nz in that 3 week period

Men’s team don’t travel to Townsville’s next year
 
I’ve got a mate who has a huge, huge crush on her so she may be replacing a husband with a stalker unfortunately.
 
Interesting that Simone Karpani and Joeli Morris didn't make the firstgrade trial squad and are named for reserve grade this week, while several young players did make the trial squad.
