Roosters NRLW claim undefeated premiership

Overview

The Roosters NRLW team completed an undefeated 13-0 season by securing their third premiership with a 30-6 victory over the Brisbane Broncos in the grand final at Accor Stadium.

The Roosters established significant control early in the match, holding a 26-0 lead at halftime. Winger Brydie Parker scored a hat-trick, and the team’s performance was supported by Jocelyn Kelleher’s kicking game. The 24-point margin equals the largest winning margin in the history of an NRLW decider. The victory also served as a farewell for retiring stars Corban Baxter and Millie Elliott.

In contrast, the defending premiers, the Brisbane Broncos, struggled with a 60 per cent completion rate. Despite having seven Origin players, the Broncos managed only one try, scored late by Jesse Southwell. The lopsided result has prompted discussions regarding competitive balance and talent distribution within the league.

Following the grand final, the club achieved a historic milestone by winning both the NRL and NRLW titles in the same year, becoming the first club to accomplish this feat. The men’s team secured their 16th title alongside the women’s third premiership. Thousands of fans gathered at the Sydney Cricket Ground for a premiership parade to celebrate the dual victories. During the celebrations, players including captain James Tedesco and playmaker Daly Cherry-Evans addressed the crowd, while departing winger Mark Nawaqanitawase noted his upcoming move to play rugby in Japan during 2027 and 2028.
