The Wests Tigers have defied expectations in this year's NRLW season, proving the doubters wrong.
Many believed that this new team would take time to gel and find their rhythm.
With a number of new players and untested local juniors in their ranks, they were seen as easy targets for write-offs.
However, what these critics failed to consider was the Tigers' unwavering commitment to women's rugby league.
The club has developed a comprehensive pathway for young women, allowing them to visualize their journey all the way to the NRLW.
This investment in player development is paying off, as evidenced by the success of key players like Botille Vette-Welsh, Sophie and Emily Curtain, Christian Pio, and Losana Latu.
These individuals have all come through the Wests Tigers pathways and are now making a significant impact in the NRLW.
Given their strong foundation, it should come as no surprise that the team has made a blistering start to the season.
