NSW and Jillaroos fullback Sammy Bremner is excited to be one of the next inspirations for young girls playing rugby league.
However, the change will benefit the public more than the players as they will know this is the same game they've been watching and hearing from the men for the last 38 years.
It's not only the public and NRL who are onboard with supporting women's rugby league but companies like Canterbury who Bremner joined forces with 12 months ago.
Bremner, who is big on staying true to herself, has a lot of opportunities pop up but with Canterbury, she is right at home.
"I think it is unreal that a brand that is known for creating men's rugby league jerseys and training gear also wants to include females in the game," she said.
"People with a big brand would usually wait until something is completely successful but Canterbury took me and the women's game under their wing at the early stages."
It's set to be a monumental and history-making few months with a smorgasbord of women's rugby league on offer with Bremner happy to be back out playing the game she loves.
Back at it ... 🐯✨#grateful #tigerlillies

She suffered five injuries in the space of 12 months including a torn ligament in my hand, a torn quad and a fractured fibula which ruled her out of the World Cup final against New Zealand at the end of 2017.
While Bremner is naturally competitive and has always strived to be the best and do the best for her team, her outlook on games has changed since a horror injury ridden 2017.
Would not change my journey for anyone else’s. A fractured Fibula, but still count myself the luckiest girl alive. Let’s go @AusJillaroos ✨@RLWC2017 #resilience pic.twitter.com/1zsVHoQZIg

"I didn't realise how stressful it was being ruled out again until I was allowed to come back and return to play," she said.
"It just feels like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
"I think about playing differently, I'm just grateful to finish every game and its a different view for someone who is very competitive," Bremner said.
Bremner is back on the field tomorrow at the National Championships on Gold Coast where she will be representing NSW Country.
