Nominees for Betfred Women's Super League Awards confirmed
There will be a new name on the Woman of Steel trophy this year with three players who have never won the most prestigious individual honour in Women’s Rugby League shortlisted for 2024 (listed below in alphabetical order).
St Helens scrum-half Faye Gaskin has been recognised in what’s set to be her final season for the Red V. The 32-year-old opened the scoring for Saints at Wembley Stadium earlier this season and has been playing some of her best rugby after overcoming a serious knee injury that saw her sidelined in 2021 for two years.
Georgie Hetherington, proudly sponsored by Crusading for Veterans, is shortlisted for the first time following a standout season for York Valkyrie in the absence of their captain and last year’s Woman of Steel, Sinead Peach. Hetherington enjoyed a dream England debut in June as she registered a try and an assist against France in the Mid-Season international.
21-year-old Lucy Murray is the youngest player in contention this year – the second rower has become a regular for Leeds Rhinos since her debut back in 2021 and was recently named their Women’s Player of the Year.
The 2024 Woman of Steel will be crowned at Rugby League’s biggest and most inclusive Awards Night at the Royal Armouries, Leeds on Tuesday 8 October – two days after the Betfred Women’s Super League Grand Final.
