XANTHE Topping has come a long way from “fangirling” in the presence of Jenni-Sue Hoepper. Four years on from their first encounter, the 19-year-old will share the field with the former Jillaroo as part of the inaugural Cowboys Women’s Academy squad. A spot in the first North Queensland Gold Stars side is up from grabs in the forthcoming QRL women’s competition. But for now, the up and coming lock is simply blessed for the opportunity to press her case for higher honours with her childhood hero close by.

SHE has already lined up alongside greats of the game, and now Shaniah Power is set to become one of them. As a 17-year-old playing for the Northern Marlins, the backrower stood with a contingent full of high calibre talent. Renae Kunst, Karyn Murphy, Tash Baggow — these athletes have achieved so much and Power was ecstatic to be on the same field. Now, following her selection in the Indigenous All Stars side, she has the platform to emulate the respected trio. |
