Yeah I thought Jasmin had a good game yesterday. Did everything the coach would have asked of her.
And yeah Izzy Kelly’s “game’s best centre” tag under huge threat now, Mele more unstoppable in attack and Biddle at the Sharks (who is 18 I believe) looks like she’s going to be a way more dominant and impactful workhorse. This could very well be the NZ Warriors centre pairing when they’re re-admitted. Scary stuff.
Yep definitely, a lot of the really dominant players from previous seasons have either come back to the pack a long way or even become pretty average, and been outperformed by girls on playing their first or second season in this comp. One which really surprised me is Millie Boyle, yes she’s played injured for a bit of it, and yes she still deserves to be thought of as the best forward in the game given what she’s done previously and how good she still was this year… but it’s no longer the case that she’s miles better than every other forward like she was before. Girls like Mato, Togatuki and our own CJ have closed the gap on her massively, and I’d say Taufa is still right up there.Yesterday was the first live game of NRLW I've seen this year.
The quality of the game was way above the quality of games last year.
The side that played yesterday would have easily beat our premiership side last year, even though many of them were the same players.
I can't think of an individual player who hasn't improved, and although we've lost players like Dibb, Mazelmann and Boyle, the improvement in players like Upton, Higgins, Clydsdale, Johnston, Parker and the new girls more than makes up for their loss.
I'd say the Broncos side we played yesterday was also easily the best ever Broncos side.
Obviously the girls aren't as big, strong and fast as male players, but skill level wise, they are now very close to NSW cup level.
Isabelle Kelly is a good example. 3 or 4 years ago she was easily the best player in the women's game. She has improved, but she is not a standout anymore. In fact, I don't expect her to be picked for Australia, and I don't know if i'd pick her for the Knights.
