Botille Vette-Welsh and Kezie Apps are set to lead the charge for Wests Tigers in the upcoming Telstra Women's Premiership season, as they have been named co-captains at the team's official 2024 season launch.
The announcement, held on All Occasion Cruises' Bella Vista Boat on Sydney Harbour, was a true testament to the team's commitment to success.
With the entire Wests Tigers NRLW squad in attendance, along with CEO Shane Richardson, NRL Head Coach Benji Marshall, and NRL Captain Api Koroisau, the stage was set for a season of grit, determination, and unwavering dedication.
The addition of six new players to the top-24 contracted roster, as well as two new recruits on development contracts, signifies a new era for Wests Tigers in the Women's Telstra Premiership.
With a core group of 20 players returning from the historic first season in the NRLW, coach Brett Kimmorley is eager to continue building on the foundation that was laid last year.
As they gear up for the new season, Vette-Welsh and Apps will lead by example, exemplifying the spirit of teamwork, resilience, and camaraderie that defines Rugby League.
With their leadership at the forefront, Wests Tigers are poised to tackle whatever challenges come their way and emerge stronger and more unified than ever before.
