Devastating news for Bri and the girls. Gee let's hope Arnell has another gear or two. All the best to our captain for upcoming surgery and rehabilitation. I guess she'll join Docherty "coaching from the sidelines " :-\

We probably need to see a bit more...but just watching bits and pieces of a few games over the weekend I reckon one of the aspects of the game that has gone up a notch is the pressure.
Some of the star players aren't being given the same latitude they were last year.
It's a pressure that the women probably haven't experienced before.
Strength and conditioning is obviously an area where the women still lag far behind the men.
The body shapes of some of the women indicate that there is still some room for improvement in fitness.
While in these early stages of the competition size can be an advantage at the contests, there will come a point where fitness and mobility will be far more important and some of the bigger women will need to adapt or disappear from the game.
Short term, this situation will create a problem.
Greater pressure and a lack of strength and conditioning will lead to injuries. Some serious.
The number of these as this season progresses may become an issue, especially if it's the stars of the game that are dropping out.

Good points Lods. The ladies comp is still very much in its infancy, and no doubt there are teething issues and much work still to be done, to make it a better competition for players and fans.

16 tackles to one of the Hosking twins is extraordinary.
Kudos.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

I thought that was a typo initially. That's a phenomenal effort for any player. In fact it probably pips the likes of Mitchell and Zeibell when the timeframe is considered.
Great effort Sarah Hosking

She would certainly show up some of our blokes.
EDIT : that record was correct as of may 2016.
I'm not sure how much longer the blokes game is Paul. That considered, she must be sticking a tackle very frequently. Amazing effort.
