The opening round of the NSWRL competitions has been completed, with several stars slowly making a name for themselves in the junior ranks as NRL scouts keep a close eye on them for the future.
Zero Tackle reviews the results and examines the top try-scorers, top-point scorers and tables of the Harold Matthews Cup, Tarsha Gale Cup, Lisa Fiaola Cup, Andrew Johns Cup and Laurie Daley Cup.
Tarsha Gale Cup
Highlight:Â The Penrith Panthers may have just won three consecutive titles in the NRL, but their women's team's 40-0 dominance over the Dragons shows they are also a must-watch team. Seven different players crossed the try line, illustrating how well-rounded the team is as they set up a great base for their NRLW team that will enter the competition in the next few seasons.
