After being a gala-day-style competition in previous years, this season will mark the first time the Lisa Fiaola Cup has been given full competition status.
The competition will be played over nine regular season rounds, including 13 uniquely different clubs.
Zero Tackle has you covered with all the squads, and looks at one player to watch during the season.
At this stage, the Central Coast Roosters, Manly Sea Eagles and Newcastle Knights have yet to confirm their squads, but Zero Tackle will keep you apprised of any updates.
Sydney Roosters
The Roosters may be the youngest team in the competition compared to the other teams, but they have had a ton of success in recent years, including an Under-14s title win.
“Matraville Sports High took out the Katrina Fanning Cup (U14s) and there are a lot of talented girls coming through the school system," Roosters Head of Pathways Blake Cavallaro said, per News Corp.
“They compete at a good level. With the talent and skill level coming through the grades, the growth is exciting.”
Squad: Logan Fletcher, Irae Lei Savea, Samurai Pati Au-Cheung, Jayda Mapasua, Ayva Papali'i, Anastasia Leatupue, Talea Tonga, Evie Phillips, Elouise Maher, Meaquen Logan, Tehillah Prasad, Faith Drollett, Lacey Cross, Tsharnti Jerrard, Mollie Rennie, Star Slater, Bae-Phoenix Kelly, Mila Spies, Grace McGregor, Maddison Hempo, Orla Graham, Cote Haroon
PLAYER TO WATCH: Mila Spies
One of the youngest players in the competition at only 15 years old, Spies' young age doesn't show on the field as she already looks like an experienced veteran. Whenever the ball gets into her hands, she looks like an attacking threat and isn't afraid to make tackles in defence.
Coming from the famed Matraville Sports High School, Spies can play either on the wing or in the centres and is a player to watch over the next few years.
