00:00Congratulations, how does that feel?

00:02It feels absolutely amazing, seriously.

00:05To be here on the big stage with my girls for the first year of the rugby league in Newcastle,

00:09and it just, I don't know, I'm just so excited.

00:14You guys, you just looked like you were determined from the moment you went on that field.

00:18It looked like you were women on a mission.

00:21Yeah, yeah, we were. It was quite comfortable the first 10-15 minutes of the game,

00:24we really dug deep there and then once we started going away for a little bit,

00:29we actually started our second half really strong, so it was really good to see.

00:32Tia caught that sticking game, how good was that?

00:35Amazing, seriously, she's my man of the match, she got man of the match.

00:38So well deserved, Tia is seriously one of our key senior players

00:42and she made a massive difference in that game, so it was amazing.

00:45She deserved every minute of that, holding that trophy up.

00:49The two converges, the conversion from out on the boundary, that was just incredible.

00:53I know, well the field's actually wider than what we're not used to playing on,

00:56and when I saw I was out wide, I've always got faith in her,

00:59but when she nailed that, I was like, yeah, it's going to be a good day.

01:02And to the team, what next for the team, going back to back?

01:06Yeah, hopefully back to back.

01:08Like I said before on the mic, we've literally come together as juniors, seniors,

01:13people from here, there and everywhere, we've come together so well

01:16and it's just been so good to see us get there,

01:19so I believe in the next coming years, the strength's only going to build from there.

01:23And I think the great thing about your team is when you get back,

01:26you spend time with the young girls, the family's been here, it's just great.

01:30Yeah, yeah, it's really good, like we've got a couple of people who are 17 in our team

01:34and girls who come up to training who don't even get named to play

01:37but they still show up, it just shows the culture of the club.

01:40Congratulations.

01:41Thank you, appreciate it.

01:43But you set up two tries, two beautiful conversions, how good was that out there?

01:48Yeah, it felt good, I ran off the girls' energy, so it really helped.

01:53The pinpoint kicking, it's such a delight to see someone kicking so well.

02:00How often do you practice?

02:03Just at training and sometimes out of the training, but yeah, at training.

02:08Not bad, not bad.

02:10And how does it feel to be part of a team like the Pickers?

02:13I'm very grateful, yeah, very grateful and I love the Pickers and yeah, Maitland's home.

02:18Excellent, congratulations.
