It may be helped, though, by the experience gained by English players who have moved to the NRLW: Roche plays her club rugby for Newcastle Knights, and Hollie-Mae Dodd for Canberra Raiders, while Paige Travis will start the coming season with Parramatta Eels, having switched from St Helens.

He played well above his age at rugby nursery King's School Parramatta and at 16 was part of a drought-ending Australia Under-18 win in New Zealand in 2019.

He later attended a community picnic in Parramatta, where the suit-clad monarch had a go at cooking sausages on a barbeque before meeting a sheepdog.

Steven John Neilson was denied bail when he appeared in Parramatta Court on Wednesday.

The 15-year-old boy’s lawyer Ahmed Dib had applied for bail Wednesday in the Parramatta Children’s Court, arguing there were exceptional circumstances that required his client’s release.
