NRL: Tamika Upton is confident Olivia Kernick will bounce back after being controversially snubbed from the Jillaroos squad.
Kernick will bounce back after snub | 00:55Jillaroos, Queensland and Knights fullback, Tamika Upton , has already conquered the major milestones in women’s Rugby League. Yet the four-time NRLW Premiership winner and 2023 Dally M Player of the year has been working behind the scenes this season with a new valued mentor to take her impressive game to a new level.
“I talk to him a lot about where in my individual game I can improve and get better. That planning has really helped me grow this year – targeting specific areas against other teams and knowing where to inject myself in the game.” “This season I feel like my game had a lot of growth in areas people might not necessarily see,” she said.
With a career featuring two premierships with the Broncos and two with the Knights, as well as starring for the Maroons in a historic three game Origin series this year, Upton believes the current crop of women’s Rugby League stars are better placed than ever to showcase the game, especially overseas.“The NRLW pre-season has changed, the preparation, strength and conditioning resources have completely changed and I think you are seeing that on the field,” Upton said.
