Former Castleford Tigers and Leeds Rhinos star Georgia Roche is living the dream as a full-time player at the peak of women’s rugby league.
Stand-off Roche enjoyed a glittering first season in the NRL Women’s competition, helping Newcastle Knights to top spot in the table and a Grand Final win over Gold Coast Titans. “It was a dream for me just going out there and first of all playing in that competition,” said Roche, who will feature for England against Wales at AMT Headingley on Saturday, in a curtain-raiser to the men’s Test with Tonga.
” Roche - the first Woman of Steel in 2018, when she was a Castleford player - has remained in close touch with Leeds coach Lois Forsell and her former teammates, admitting: “I think Lois must be sick of hearing from me. I am surprised she hasn’t blocked my number. “I have spoken to a lot of the girls, we are still friends. Me and Keara Bennett are good friends so I’ve kept in touch with her throughout the year and I’ve watched their progress and their games.
