Rebecca Pollard, a 24-year-old outside back, is making a name for herself in the NRLW with her blazing speed and athletic prowess.
Having made her NRLW debut with the Wests Tigers in Round 4, Pollard showcased her talents by scoring her first NRLW try against the Titans in a recent match.
Prior to her rugby league career, Pollard excelled in athletics as a state champion in hurdles and as a national OzTag player.
Her background in athletics has undoubtedly contributed to her success on the rugby league field, particularly in terms of her speed and agility.
This was evident when she joined the women's Group 6 League Tag competition with the Oaks Tigers, where she was able to utilize her athleticism to her advantage.
Despite her success in other sports, Pollard couldn't resist the allure of rugby league and decided to give it a try.
She joined the Narellan Jets, competing in both tackle and tag competitions, and her skills quickly caught the attention of the Wests Tigers Harvey Norman side.
In 2020, Pollard's impressive performance in the tackle competition grand final led to her receiving an invitation to trial for the Wests Tigers.
Her hard work and dedication paid off, as she earned a spot on the team and has been making a significant impact ever since.
With her speed to burn and a strong foundation in athletics, Pollard has quickly become a valuable asset for the Wests Tigers in the NRLW.
As she continues to develop her skills and gain experience in the league, there is no doubt that she will continue to be a force to be reckoned with on the field.
