'Here I am': Elite Elise Set to Shine on NRLW Stage
Elise Simpson, a Canberra teenager, made her mark in rugby league after picking up a ball for the first time just last year.
In her debut match in the NRLW, she showcased her talent by amassing an impressive 212 run metres, completing five tackle breaks, and assisting two tries for her teammate Madison Bartlett against Parramatta.
This 18-year-old's rise has been fueled by her innate ability, courage, and strong work ethic.
A product of the Raiders' development pathways, including participation in the Tarsha Gale Cup for the upcoming 2024 and 2025 seasons, Simpson has been preparing for this opportunity-though it appears she did not foresee it happening so soon.
With her debut performance, Elise has established herself as one of the game's most promising young players.
