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.
