Rugby League fans, brace yourselves for some exciting news as Coban Baxter is making a triumphant return to the halves for the Westpac NSW Sky Blues.
The dynamic duo of Baxter and halfback Rachael Pearson are gearing up for the 2024 Women's State of Origin decider in Townsville, set to take place next Thursday.
Known for her versatility, Baxter has previously showcased her skills in the centre and fullback positions for the Sky Blues.
However, her recent stint at No.6 has seen her team up with a trio of talented No.7s - from Melanie Howard in 2020 to Maddie Studdon in 2021, and now Pearson in 2024.
After taking a brief hiatus in 2022 and 2023 to welcome her second son, Beauden, Baxter made a sensational comeback to the NRLW last year with the Sydney Roosters.
Her stellar performance in 2024 has earned her a spot in her seventh Origin jersey, marking her ninth appearance for NSW.
With a hunger for success, Baxter is determined to make the most of her partnership with Pearson in the halves.
As they aim to outmaneuver their opponents, Baxter is ready to unleash her creativity and lead the Sky Blues to victory in the upcoming showdown.
So, stay tuned as Baxter and Pearson bring their A-game to the field, ready to tackle any challenge that comes their way.
Let's cheer on these formidable athletes as they strive for glory in the rugby league arena.
