'Such an honour': Weekes turns setback into NRLW debut

LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

Grace-Lee Weekes is set to make her NRLW debut for the Cronulla Sharks this Saturday against the Cowboys, marking her as the third debutante for the team in three weeks.

This opportunity comes after Annessa Biddle accepted a one-game suspension for a high tackle.

Weekes will join fellow new players Jaydika Tafua and Stephanie Faulkner, becoming Shark No.

34.

At just 21, Weekes began her journey with the Sharks through a development contract in 2023 and was promoted to the top 24 squad last year.

Unfortunately, a fractured fibula sustained during a match in the NSW Women's Premiership halted her season prematurely.

Despite this setback, she is thrilled about her upcoming debut, expressing it as "such an honour."
