'I'll never lift my arm again': The remarkable journey of Sharks rookie Georgia Hannaway
As her mates gear up for the Opening Ceremony at the Paris Olympics, Georgia Hannaway will be taking the field in Australia for her NRLW debut.
In less than a day, Hannaway will be lacing up her boots for the Cronulla Sharks NRLW team alongside former Rugby Sevens stars Tiana Penitani and Emma Tonegato, aiming to carve out a name for herself in the rough and tumble world of rugby league.
A former Aussie Rugby Sevens sensation, Hannaway made the switch back to rugby league, earning a multi-year deal with the Sharks after a standout season with the North Devils in the BMD Premiership.
With her folks and Grandma jetting down from Brisbane to witness this momentous occasion, Zero Tackle caught up with Hannaway ahead of her big NRLW debut.
In an exclusive chat, Hannaway opened up about the tough road to get here, including shoulder surgery and being let go by Rugby Sevens while she was on the mend.
