I'm delighted we have a womens team and a womens u19s too. Same as i'm delighted Saints and Leeds have launched womens team's under their main brands as well. It's fantastic for Rugby League to find a growth market to grow participation.
Sport England funding isn't sexist, and the game these women are participating in is rugby league. By participating under the badge of established rugby league clubs, they extend their reach and inspire more participation.
Loads of the players in these sides have come from the existing community game, but loads too have come from union or come into the sport fresh, just because they have the chance to represent these big established clubs, on a bigger stage to a bigger and better standard, than the womens game has ever seen. All that ups the participation numbers for rugby league. Which boosts the funding for rugby league.
I love rugby league. I want what is good for rugby league. Wigan Warriors having a womens side is good for rugby league.
