Ivana Lauitiiti smiled and shrugged when reminded that her father, Ali, also scored on his debut for the Warriors. Her performance during the NRLW Magic Round certainly made an impact.
Like her father, who was among family in the crowd at McDonald Jones Stadium, Ivana believes in letting her actions speak for themselves. She took full advantage of her last-minute inclusion in the team during the 12-6 loss to the Cowboys.
As a 19-year-old prop coming off the bench, she showcased her talent with a powerful try in the first half and played a crucial role in defense with a pivotal tackle. Her efforts contributed to the Warriors' first away victory since their return to the NRLW this season.
