Homegrown with Jo Barrett
The Under 17 women's statewide competition will now be known as the Jo Barrett premiership, presented by Westpac. A true pioneer of women's rugby league, Jo Barrett helped pave the way for generations of female athletes, representing both the Queensland Maroons and Australia during a distinguished playing career. In this feature, Jo reflects on her journey, the growth of opportunities for women and girls in rugby league, and what it means to have Queensland Rugby League's Under 17 women's competition named in her honour. The Jo Barrett Premiership celebrates a legacy and provides aspiring young players with a vital pathway to pursue their rugby league dreams.
