"Rugby League is the greatest sport on earth."


20-year old Victorian Janine Jamieson is proving that women can excel in so-called 'manly' sports.

Born of a Bicolano mother, this former nursing student played with Perlas, the first women's Rugby League team in the Philippines in 2017.

Ms Jamieson is now playing for the newly-formed West Tigers Harvey Norman Team.
