00:00It was an attack. It was a ripper game.
00:02I couldn't have asked for anything more.
00:04We set out at the start of the final series that we were going to strengthen our defence.
00:07And I think we did that. We've done it every week in and out.
00:10And today I think the Waders have just switched on.
00:12Pushing through their pain, pushing through all the injuries that we got.
00:16So yes, that's well-earned, well-earned.
00:18Your captain, she was a really worthy winner of the play of the match.
00:24Yes, definitely. She's been her heart and soul all season, so it's been amazing.
00:27But the kicking game, I thought that was really what got you going in that first half.
00:33You really put the pressure on them.
00:35The main tactic right at the start is to get out of our half, kick the ball down the under the field.
00:39We knew that their full-back wasn't really good under the high ball,
00:42so we thought, let's test her out, and it worked well.
00:44And what a great moment. Inaugural year for the club and the team.
00:48Yeah, great.
00:50A great future for women's footy in the bay.
00:54Look, we set out at the start to create a pathway for women in rugby league,
00:58for juniors, for seniors, anybody that wants to play their game, tag, tackle.
01:02And I think, you know, with what these ladies have done today,
01:05I think we've, you know, we've set a very clear path.
01:08And you've got some very handy juniors at Nelson Bay.
01:10Yes, we do. We actually do.
