Geography is set to play a key role in deciding which clubs are granted licences in the inaugural NRL Women's Premiership next season, with officials keen to start the competition with teams based in New Zealand, Queensland and regional NSW, as well as Sydney.
NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg on Wednesday announced a six-team competition featuring 40 centrally-contracted Jillaroos stars and match payments for all other players as the centre point of a 2018 women's program. There will also be a stand-alone State of Origin and Pacific and trans-Tasman Tests.
