The issue

Ladies League Tag has become an integral part of the Northern Rivers Regional Rugby League (NRRRL) community, bringing together women of all ages and backgrounds to engage in a sport they love. This competition not only fosters camaraderie and team spirit among the ladies, but also enables them to display their skills, athleticism, and passion for rugby league. By participating in this beloved sport, players build confidence, create lifelong friendships, and inspire younger generations to follow in their footsteps.

The demand for Ladies League Tag is apparent, with ever-growing support from families, friends, and local fans who turn out to cheer the athletes in every match. The visibility and success of the competition are vital for promoting gender equality in sports, empowering women, and providing a platform for them to thrive. Discontinuing Ladies League Tag in the 2027 NRRRL season would not only rob the ladies of their opportunity to compete, but also dampen the spirit of community and support that surrounds this sport. 

Moreover, the sport has tangible benefits for the players' physical health, mental well-being, and personal development to gain the confidence  to  support and play Women’s tackle rugby league.

The sense of belonging that comes with being part of a team contributes to their mental health, and the physical intensity of the sport ensures that players remain fit and active.

Maintaining Ladies League Tag in the NRRRL aligns with the larger push towards inclusivity and equal representation in sports. Ensuring its continuation through to 2027 will help preserve the momentum gained over the years in popularizing women's participation in rugby league and challenging traditional gender roles.

We urge the NRRRL administration to recognize the importance of Ladies League Tag and commit to keeping it alive for the 2027 season and beyond. Let's support our women athletes and the community that rallies behind them every week. Please sign this petition to ensure that Ladies League Tag continues in the NRRRL 2027 Rugby League.
