It highlights the efforts of the PNG Rugby Football League (PNGRFL) to nurture female talent, noting the significant increase in female participation in the sport. The article mentions the success of the PNG Orchids, the national women's team, and how their achievements are inspiring more girls to take up rugby league. Key points include the PNGRFL's strategic plan to develop pathways for women, the cultural shift towards accepting and supporting women in sports traditionally dominated by men, and the ambition to have a PNG team in the NRLW competition.
