Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — Mr Speaker, I rise today to recognise an incredible season of Rugby League from the Rooster's NRLW side. The mighty Roosters had a fantastic season, playing strong attacking rugby throughout, eventually making it to the NRLW Grand final on October 25th. The tricolours had the majority of the possession and the territory in the first half but were unable to capitalise on their dominance, the Broncos turning the tables quickly to leap ahead 12-0. A comeback which included two spectacular tries to the Roosters saw them head into the halftime break down by just 12-10. Unfortunately, the Broncos were the better team in the second half, scored two further tries and winning the game 20-10. Congratulations to Captain Corban McGregor and to every player that pulled on the mighty red, white and blue this year as we strive to go one better in 2021. Up the Chooks!
