At Wynnum Manly Juniors RLFC, we take immense pride in celebrating the achievements of our players, and today, we’re shining a well-deserved spotlight on Emily Whittaker.
It’s one thing to be invited to join an NRLW Talent Squad, but when you’re asked to join two? That’s next-level talent and dedication!
Earlier this year, we were thrilled to celebrate Emily’s selection into the Dolphins Talent Squad, a huge milestone in her rugby league journey. Now, she’s taken another incredible step forward by also being invited to join the Bulldogs Talent Squad - doubling her chances to refine her skills, grow as a player, and take her game to the next level.
A Pathway to the Top
NRLW Talent Squads are designed to identify and develop the next generation of elite female rugby league players, providing them with access to top-tier coaching, high-performance training, and mentorship from some of the best in the game. Emily’s selection into both the Dolphins and Bulldogs programs is a testament to her work ethic, skill, and determination to become the best player she can be.
The Journey Ahead
With opportunities like these, Emily has the chance to train under NRLW Head Coaches and High-Performance Staff, gaining insights and experience that will shape her future in the game. She recently had the opportunity to meet and work with Bulldogs NRLW Head Coach and Head of Female Pathways, Coach Blake Cavallaro, a moment that marks just the beginning of her exciting journey.
Her dedication to the sport, combined with the invaluable experience she’ll gain from both programs, sets her on a path toward future NRLW success. She’s not just playing rugby league - she’s making waves in the female game, proving that hard work and talent open doors to incredible opportunities.
Wynnum Manly Juniors Couldn’t Be Prouder!
Emily, we are crazy proud of you! Keep working hard, enjoy every moment, and embrace this incredible opportunity. The entire Wynnum Manly Juniors RLFC family is behind you, cheering you on every step of the way!
Stay tuned for more updates on Emily’s journey as she continues to rise through the ranks and chase her NRLW dreams!
