Ua Ravu, a 26-year-old hooker for the Raiders, reflects on how rugby league brought her family to Australia.
Born in Papua New Guinea, Ravu's family moved to the Riverina community of Leeton when she was just six months old.
This move was prompted by her father Elwyn's recruitment to play for the Leeton Greens, a rugby league team.
Since then, the Ravu family has made Leeton their permanent home.
Despite only playing her first full season last year in the Katrina Fanning Shield, rugby league has had a profound impact on Ua and her family.
She laces up her boots and straps on her headgear, thinking of her dad and their rugby league journey whenever she steps onto the field.
The article, published on the Raiders' website, highlights Ua's role in continuing her family's rugby league legacy and writing the next chapter of their story.
