There likely won't be any news for a fair while yet. Maybe in the new year
NRLW General Discussion
- Thread starter WT2K
- Start date
And are good players. Not much point otherwise.

I'm sure they wouldn't have more than 1-2 players signed to nrlw contracts. Eg Bo. Season doesn't start for another 6-8 months, anyone contracted gets paid. Hence contracts won't get signed until training is closer to starting, except maybe big name players on marquee contracts.

Players can not be signed for next season yet.
Pretty sure you're allowed to sign 1 (Maybe 2) Marquee Players on multi year deals...
Believe Penitani signed on for the Eels for the 22/23 Seasons earlier this year....

Yeah, I think she may have been the first one, we can't sign any until a certain date this month. I can't remember the date.
Any word on whether Sergis and Apps are partially contracted due to being contracted to the Harvey Norman’s team.
In addition is the HN comp running in parallel?

No, we would need to sign them away from the Roosters and dragons.
Harvey Norman is the level below and will be played earlier in the year. I expect we will have sides in both.

The NRLW is still a fairly short competition so it is possible he could still do both roles. He was coaching the Harvey Normans women's team before being made NRL coach this year.

Botille Vette-Welsh will be doing her utmost to convince elite players Kezie Apps and Jess Sergis to sign...
HARVEY NORMAN WOMEN'S PREMIERSHIP
The honour follows the team’s golden-point grand final win over Cronulla Sharks at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in July, which earned Wests Tigers a maiden NSW Women’s Premiership title.
Maiden premiership for Wests Tigers Harvey Norman Women's team
The NSW Sports Team of the Year Award, however, is about much more than on-field success.
The judging also takes into consideration several other aspects about the team, and its overall success.
It looks at the role the team played in talent progression at the club, its effect on grass roots participation, the growing profile and recognition of its players, and how it engaged with its local community.

On all these fronts, Wests Tigers Harvey Norman Women’s team has excelled.
Team Manager Jessica Schwartz has recently taken up a position at Wests Tigers as Pathways Operations Manager. Schwartz previously spent countless hours volunteering her time to help our Harvey Norman Women’s team to be the best it could be.

Jess was nominated as Wests Tigers’ Ambassador for NRL Women in League Round in 2022, and was also named Wests Tigers Woman of the Year at the club’s Kelly-Barnes Awards night.
Schwartz believes the team’s success, on and off the field in 2022, played a key role in the club being admitted to the NRLW in 2023.
“There are so many reasons to sing the praises about this team and these players,” said Schwartz.

When asked about the team’s role in talent progression and player pathways at the club, Schwartz provided some glowing stats.
“About 90% of this year’s team were local juniors, including Campbelltown twins Emily and Sophie Curtain,” said Schwartz.
We also had players make their HNW debuts who came through our Tarsha Gale (U/19s) team, including Balmain junior Imogen Gobran and Leumeah local, Losana Lutu.”
Schwartz says Lutu is a classic example of talent progression.
"Losana made her Harvey Norman debut with Wests Tigers, she was selected for the NSW U/19s State of Origin team and was one of eight of our players picked up by NRLW clubs in 2022.”

Schwartz says the premiership-winning team’s on-field success in 2022 is more than matched by its off-field endeavours.
“These players are ambassadors for Wests Tigers and rugby league who continue to drive awareness and make positive social change,” she said.

Head of Pathways at Wests Tigers is Matthew Betsey, who is equally proud of the the team's achievements.
He says there is a clear link between their off-field work and growth in grass roots participation.
"They are all heavily invested in community programs to drive participation," said Betsey.

Our team is in pretty good company in the ‘best team’ category with the likes of NRL Premiers, Penrith Panthers and NBL Champions, Sydney Kings, also in contention.
