'It's a bloody ripper sight to see': Tamika Upton is already the bee's knees in the world, but her skipper reckons she's just getting warmed up.
They've clinched two championships on the trot and have the top dog player in the world, but the rest of the NRLW better watch out because Upton is the real deal.
She's already a legend in the women's game, but Tamika Upton is expected to reach even greater heights in the years to come, with Knights skipper Hannah Southwell believing the star fullback has plenty more to show.
It's a gutsy call considering Upton snagged the Dally M Medal last year and has bagged back-to-back Karyn Murphy Medals as the cream of the crop in the NRLW grand final.
Upton has already notched up four premierships and is hungry for another, as the Knights gear up to take on the Roosters this weekend for a shot at the big dance.
While she's renowned for her try-scoring prowess and knack for busting tackles, the Knights marvel has expanded her skill set and topped the charts for try assists during the regular season, with her nifty short passes on the flanks messing with defensive setups week in, week out.
Even though she snatched two tries and set up a couple more in last year's grand final, her skipper is adamant that Upton has barely even scratched the surface.
"I reckon she's got plenty left in the tank," Southwell said.
