In her NRLW debut, Shalom Sauaso experienced an unexpected yet impactful start, taking the field under surprising circumstances.

As reported by nrl.com.au, the promising 18-year-old was caught off-guard when called to play centre after Julia Robinson exited for a Head Injury Assessment at the 30-minute mark during the match against Wests Tigers.

Though her first stint was brief, lasting only five minutes, Sauaso quickly transitioned to her preferred middle role for the second half.

In that period, she demonstrated her skills effectively, accumulating 93 run metres across nine runs, which included five tackle breaks.

Her performance provided a crucial surge in momentum for the Broncos, reflecting her potential and showcasing why her team had faith in her abilities.

The phrase "It takes a village" resonates as Sauaso's debut highlighted the importance of support and preparation behind a young athlete stepping into a significant role, even at a moment's notice.

The match served as a testament to her readiness and the collective effort that contributed to her initial success on the field.
