Rugby league and all its history is now behind womens football in this country - is that right? Of course not - no problem with women playing football or rugby but for it to almost be grabbing equal or bigger headlines and support with little or no history is all wrong imo
Your point about history and women playing rugby has validity but not when it comes to women's football which has history reaching back into the 19th century. In the 1920's the FA banned women from using their grounds with the reason that football damaged women's bodies! This ban was not revoked until about 50 years ago.
Good to see in the NRL women joining the senior officiating ranks with currently 2 female refs joining the males for NRL match selection. They are also used as assistant referees.
No idea how female officiating is going in English Rugby League but have yet to see any female there as an assistant referee. Know of one female assistant referee in the Premier League.
