Jon Wilkin says English heavy defeat in Australia in Las Vegas was a reality check | Rugby league news
Jon Wilkin says that an English heavy defeat of 90-4 in Australia in Las Vegas was a awake call for sports in this country and highlighted the bay in the class.
The English women were surpassed and surpassed themselves while 17 attempts were recognized in Las Vegas.
Full Bek Tamika Upton has achieved five attempts in the first meeting between the sides since 2017, and Julie Robinson and Jess Sergis were capturing a hat-trick while the Jillaros was dominated.
“There was just differences in the development of women’s games here in the UK, right?” said Wilkin.
“For people who are not aware, NRLW is a professional competition, Jillaros are professional full-time athletes. The foreign rugby league in England is part-time, it is a part-time sport in this country and it looked every now and then-it was a demolition.
“Jillaros have an endless more resources, time and preparation to prepare for such fixing, and I think it is also a check for the Women’s Rugby League in this country, about where it is done, where it sits in its development and where to come.
“It happens in sports, in various competitions, there are one -sided games and great results.
“Was it a good look of the sport, and especially for a woman’s game? I’m not sure it is, but this is only a timely reminder where the sport sits in the moment, an investment that will last, a time that will take a dedication we need to show towards a women’s sport at a top level.
“I just thought the result was really not a great reflection, but it’s a truly reflection where we are.”
