After completing the most dominant regular season in NRLW history, the big question around the Sydney Roosters is simple: can anyone hope to stop them?

Why the NRLW finals are all about one question

The champions of Australia's Women's National Rugby League, the Sydney Roosters, dominate the final stages of the NRLW season with their undefeated record. Their remarkable season has been a source of intrigue and terror, with an unbeaten minor premiership and a record-breaking regular season. Six players have scored more than 10 tries each, setting new highs for the league.

Captain Isabelle Kelly emphasizes the team's focus on their performance in high-pressure situations, acknowledging past difficulties in the semifinals. The Roosters face formidable opponents, including Newcastle, Brisbane, and Gold Coast, all of whom have posed significant challenges this season. For the Roosters, finals footy is a new level of competition requiring the team to bond tighter and overcome their weaknesses.

Despite a flat first half in their regular-season finale against Canterbury, the Roosters bounced back with a 30-point second half to mark their dominance.
