The Invite Came Late but Ana Dazzled at Debutant's Ball
"Ana Malupo has had a whirlwind 12 months," as reported by nrl.com.au.
Originating from Darwin, and making her way through places like Townsville, Suva, Las Vegas, and ultimately Sydney, the North Queensland Cowboys rookie has certainly made her mark.
After signing a development contract with the Cowboys last year, Ana showcased her skills by representing Tonga during October's Pacific Championships in Fiji.
She also played for the Northern Territory Titans at the NRL Vegas 9s in February.
Her journey took a notable turn when she had the honor of presenting Jakiya Whitfeld with her Jillaroos jersey just before Australia's impressive 90-4 victory against England at Allegiant Stadium.
Moreover, Ana made her NRLW debut, stepping in for the Cowboys star at Sharks Stadium.
The last-minute invitation to the debutant's ball did not diminish her brilliance, as she captivated everyone present.
