Tazmin Rapana, a veteran of women's rugby league and a key player for the Brisbane Broncos, has announced her immediate retirement due to medical reasons.
This decision, made public at the Broncos' Red Hill training facility, was one of the most challenging moments in her career.
The 29-year-old second rower, who has played 32 NRLW games since the league's inception in 2018, has also participated in eleven State of Origin matches for Queensland and represented the Australian Jillaroos once.
Despite her extensive experience and success on the field, the announcement to her teammates was particularly daunting.
