In a recent article on titans.com.au titled "Hail Niall: Ultimate competitor proves ultimate leader," Jamie Soward discusses the impressive performance and leadership of Niall Williams-Guthrie during a Rugby League match against Fiji Bulikula.
Despite the loss in the NRLW grand final, Williams-Guthrie showcased her skills and determination, leading the Gold Coast Titans to their first-ever appearance in the championship game.
Now, just two weeks later, she has taken on the role of captain for Fetu Samoa in the Pacific Championships opener in Port Moresby.
During the match, Williams-Guthrie made an incredible impact on the field, accumulating an impressive 166 run metres, two try assists, and ultimately securing a victory for her team.
However, it was her leadership off the field that truly impressed her coach.

As a dual international, having previously excelled in Rugby Sevens with the Black Ferns, Williams-Guthrie has seamlessly transitioned into the NRLW and now the international arena.
Her performance and leadership abilities have been lauded, and she has quickly become a respected figure in the Rugby League community.
With such a strong start to her international career, it is clear that Williams-Guthrie has the potential to continue making a significant impact on the Rugby League world.
Her skills, determination, and leadership will undoubtedly be key factors in the success of Fetu Samoa moving forward in the Pacific Championships.
