Kaiviti Silktails have dominated Glebe Dirty Reds at Mascot Oval 38-16 to get their first win of the season in the Ron Massey Cup.
Defensively both sides came out of the sheds firing, however Glebe Dirty Reds made an unforced error which gifted Silktails attacking field position early in the game. Ratu Vasuturaga went across for the first try of the game down the left edge and the conversion was successful by five-eighth Waisale Nayavucere.
In the 14th minute, a terrific kick by Silktails’s halfback Penioni Tagituimua saw centre Tomasi Vanicagi go over in the corner. The conversion was successful to give them a 12-nil lead.
NRL CEO Andrew Abdo says increasing the number of games in the Telstra Women s Premiership remained a priority but a final decision won t be made until later in the year.
With many past and present players, fans and commentators saying more regular-season games was a must for 2021, Abdo said it was equally important to maintain the quality.
A full schedule for the women s calendar is yet to confirmed by the NRL as officials in the women s elite competitions draw up options around the NRLW s next steps before seeking approval from the ARL Commission.
Should the competition be expanded and the 2021 World Cup goes ahead, elite players will be in for arguably their biggest year on record with close to 30 games on offer across all levels.
