Subscriber only GIVEN the growing profile of women s rugby league, it s important for regional clubs to encourage junior development. Brothers Ipswich are doing just that this season, eager to field teams in this year s SEQ junior girls competition. Before COVID struck last year, Brothers were planning to field three junior girls sides. Preparations were well underway to enter club under-14, under-16 and under-18 teams. That was unable to proceed. Last year was meant to be all three grades, Brothers Ipswich junior girls co-ordinator Thea White said. However, White said Brothers were keen to press ahead, hoping to field at least two sides in this year s SEQ competition scheduled to start in April.
