NRLW 2026

Interesting that Brigginshaw's lawyer tried to argue it was a one-on-one steal that went wrong. A bit of a stretch.


I think the length of the season argument is fair, but the tackle was horrendous. That said, even without an early plea, it is fair to note her clean record and contribution to the game, so 3 games seems reasonable on what would have been a 4-game ban otherwise. Still should have been sent on the day, though.

Henry Peranara subbed in for Tasha Gale to avoid a conflict of interest, as she was commentating on the match. Lucky then Ali wasn't a Knight, she would have probably got life without parole.
 
Not sure who this ref is in the Dogs v Cows match, but she's one of the better NRLW refs. Very clear, consistent, organised and seems to get most of the calls right on the money.

Also, penalty > set restart, which is a nonsense the NRL should get rid of.
