As most of you will know, the game of rugby league is the game that I love. However, following the outcry after the Swans game this weekend, I felt it was time to write something AFL. Many thanks to an anonymous friend who helped me a bunch with this piece. Enjoy. In Round 4 of […]

Who stole the show last night?
I can perhaps be forgiven for being a bit disappointed today. As a faithful Blues supporter, the result of last night’s game certainly did not go the way I wanted it to. Big congratulations to the Queensland Maroons who, after a lacklustre end to the second half turned it around in a big way to […]
A love letter to Aaron Woods
This is the story I have been wanting to write since the beginning of last week when the State of Origin teams got announced. You know how it goes though, work gets busy, Parramatta breach the salary cap and I find myself 2 days out from State of Origin with this story still not having […]
What can we learn from the US?
As the NSW government gets down to the nitty-gritty of finalising its stadium investment strategy, I thought it a fitting time to share my thoughts on what our sporting venues and organisations can learn from how the big boys do it in the United States. I recently returned from a holiday in the States where […]
The Parramatta Eels – a tough day at the office
What on earth did the Parramatta Eels fans do to make the Footy Gods so angry? I thought that I had been behaving myself. For a Club so important to the NRL, with such a massive fan base, which is the jewel of a community and with a junior base that so many other clubs […]
There is a national emergency in Australia – so what are we doing about it?

This is a national emergency which cannot be ignored any longer and we each have a role to play in continuing to speak out, raise awareness and lobby those in positions of power. In Australia, there have been 25 women killed as a result of male violence […]
Raelene, you rock!
Last night, after watching Raelene Castle speak on the couch with Peter Sterling, I was reminded about what an astute administrator she is, how passionate she is about her Canterbury Bulldogs and how hard she has worked to try and bring success to the Club. However, when you look at her past it is no […]
The NRL and gender diversity
This week the National Rugby League celebrates Women in League Round – a special round where the contributions of women at all levels of the game are recognised. I love rugby league – the sport is my passion and my team, the Parramatta Eels are part of me. l am truly a lawyer by day […]
A challenge to our Women’s Networks
Just how incredible is Twitter and social media. For me personally and for Ladies who League it has completely revolutionised my ability to connect to an audience. Never have I had access to such current, topical and interesting content at the swipe of a screen. The way social media allows us to connect, cultivate and […]
Hooray! It’s Women in League Round!
Ladies, gentlemen and loyal fans (I hope we have a couple). Here we are. The eve before the launch of Women in League Round – my favourite round of football in the regular NRL season. I am so pleased that it is time to celebrate again. During this round, I am prouder than ever to […]
