What a night in Newcastle – all credit to the crowd for coming out in such huge numbers in truly awful weather. I have so much inspiration as I sit typing this blog in my oodie in front of the heater. They’re made of tough stuff up there in steel country. But even tougher were the players on the field who put on a magnificent contest. It was really quality rugby league in awful conditions and both teams made it a sensational contest.
It’s worth remembering that this is essentially preseason for the women – the NRLW doesn’t kick off until late July – so the fact that we’ve had two such high quality games is extraordinary and a real credit to all the players. Queensland draw level in the series and either team could win it from here. Queensland get the home game advantage in Townsville, but considering the first two games have both been won by the away teams, that may not be as big an advantage as it appears on paper.
