NRLW round 2 on Channel 9 fixture – As women’s sports takes centre stage in Nine’s exclusive coverage of the Paris Olympics, the NRLW promises an exhilarating weekend of top-tier action for the Harvey Norman Women In League Round, with every game live and free on the 9Network.
It starts on Saturday from 11.00am with the defending premiers, Newcastle Knights, playing their first home game at GIO Stadium, against the Canberra Raiders. Both teams are brimming with confidence: Knights hooker Olivia Higgins has scored three tries in her last four games, while Raiders winger Madison Bartlett has four from her past three home games.
Next up, at 12.30pm, the Gold Coast Titans meet the Wests Tigers, aiming to extend the Tigers’ losing streak in Queensland.

Then in triple-treat Sunday, Allianz Stadium will host a big double-header: Eels v Sharks, both first-round victors, followed by Roosters v Broncos, both chasing their first win of the season.
The weekend concludes with the third Sunday arvo game: the Cowboys at home to the Dragons in Townsville. The Cowboys need to bounce back after conceding 128 points in their last three home games. For the Dragons, fullback Teagan Berry will be out to add to her tally of 14 tries in her last 12 NRLW appearances.
