The NRLW season is kicking off with an exciting match as the Cronulla Sharks take on the Parramatta Eels in a Thursday night clash.
According to nrl.com.au, the Sharks are eager to bounce back after their grand final loss to the Roosters last season and aim for a strong start this year.
Tiana Penitani Gray is lined up to play in the centres, as Cronulla is set on implementing a dynamic and entertaining attacking style throughout the season.
On the other hand, the Eels narrowly missed out on finals last season and are determined to make a strong impact right off the bat.
Fullback Abbi Church, who recently made her State of Origin debut, is expected to be a crucial player in the Eels' attack, looking to contribute significantly in the upcoming showdown.
