Brisbane's Robinson eyes fifth premiership

Julia Robinson

The 2025 International Rugby League (IRL) Golden Boot winner Julia Robinson will play wing in Brisbane's NRLW preliminary final against Gold Coast in Robina on Sunday.

The award recognised Robinson as the world's best representative female player.

She won titles on the wing in 2018 and 2019, then at centre in 2020 and 2025.

After starting this season's first eight games at centre, she lost the final three before coach Scott Prince moved her to the wing.

Brisbane has won all four games since, with Robinson scoring five tries.

"I love playing wing." Robinson told AAP.

Her three straight defeats included a 28-20 loss to the Titans in round eight; she said those setbacks helped the team improve and that Brisbane was now firing.

Only Broncos greats Kevin Walters and Michael Hancock have won five premierships for the club; Robinson could join them with two more victories.

"To get a fifth premiership here at the Broncos would be incredible and amazing but we have got the next job to worry about and then hopefully we get to the big dance." she said.

Robinson said Gold Coast's representative backs include Jaime Chapman, Georgia Grey and Phoenix Destiny-Sinapati, who debuted for Queensland this year.
