"It's a privilege to see the game take this step and recognise female players in the National Rugby League Hall of Fame," V'landys said.<\/p>\n

"Each of the inductees has played a significant role in the growth of the women's game, and the game itself. They are extraordinary individuals who worked extremely hard to put women's rugby league on the map.<\/p>\n

"Women's rugby league is as popular as it is now because of the efforts of the inductees.<\/p>\n

"Each of them has also continued to play a significant role in the game after retirement.<\/p>\n

"With the NRLW and women's game flying, it is critical as a game that we pay tribute to those who have dug the well.<\/p>\n

"These players will be forever known as being part of the first group of female players to join the NRL Hall of Fame."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
