The RLPA survey shows NRLW players receive twice as much online abuse as their male counterparts in the NRL.A survey has shown NRLW players receive twice as much online abuse as their male counterparts in the NRL and two in three do not report incidents.
The figures back up research released this year by Deakin University, which examined online harm experienced by women in Australian sport. The top-performing club in the NRL was South Sydney, which scored Bs and As across a range of criteria. A stark difference between the men's and women's games is the part-time nature of the NRLW, which operates across a much shorter season than the NRL and was causing financial strain, according to the RLPA.
"It's incredibly common in part-time professional sports and particularly women's sports and is an issue that must be addressed." Three male players reported suffering three suspected concussions during training across a 12-month period.
