NRLW Premiership: Sydney Roosters crush Brisbane Broncos to claim third NRLW title and complete perfect season | Rugby League News

Sydney Roosters crushed the Brisbane Broncos 30-6 to complete the perfect season and claim a third NRLW premiership title.

The unstoppable Roosters gave legends Corban Baxter and Millie Elliott the perfect send-off with six tries in a first-half blitz at Accor Stadium.

Sydney won all 11 of their regular-season matches before claiming victory in both finals to complete a perfect season.

Brydie Parker (2), Tarryn Aiken, Isabelle Kelly, Jayme Fressard and Amber Hall all crossed the whitewash as the Roosters produced a dominant first-half display.

Parker completed her Grand Final hat-trick before the hour mark to extend Sydney’s lead to 30-0.

Jesse Southwell finally got the Broncos on the board after 63 minutes, but the game was already done and dusted, with the Roosters soon celebrating a crushing victory.

Retiring Roosters forward Millie Elliott said: “Everyone knows what that felt like and we definitely used that as motivation all season, not just in this game, all season,” she said.

“And we worked so hard, I take my hat off to [head coach John] Strangey and the coaching staff, they really left no stone unturned this year and we wanted to put in a performance like that.”

Winning captain Isabelle Kelly said: “I knew that this year we’re creating something special, and I think we’re building and made that our best game yet. I love you guys and I’m so glad that we get to do this together.”

She added: “To Corban and Millie, you guys have been absolutely incredible for this NRLW competition, but mostly for the Roosters the impact that you guys have had on us, Millie, you being a mum, it’s just created such a special bond for us to look forward to for many years. And you’ll always be a Rooster.”

MotoGP: Marc Marquez wins in Japan to cut Jorge Martin’s championship lead

Published

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez took maximum points at the Japanese Grand Prix, winning Saturday’s sprint and Sunday’s race, to cut fellow Spaniard Jorge Martin’s championship lead to just two points.

Martin, 28, who won the title in 2024, finished second after starting Sunday’s race at Motegi Circuit in pole position, while his Aprilla team-mate Marco Bezzecchi was third.

Ducati rider Marquez, 33, had to bide his time after Martin held his advantage off the line, but the seven-time champion took his chance on the 11th lap to edge past his rival on the inside.

“The race was tough, especially when I was behind Jorge, but I knew that if I was able to lead the race, my pace was good,” said Marquez, who moved to 331 points with six rounds remaining.

“Jorge tried to attack, but then I just increased a bit more the pace and it was enough to do the last two laps more relaxed.”

Italian Bezzecchi, 27, moved to 284 points to keep his slim title hopes alive after fending off a late charge by Tech3’s Enea Bastianini to claim his place on the podium.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez had a race to forget, crashing out after serving a double long lap penalty for his role in a three-rider collision during Saturday’s sprint.
