NRLW 2026, Injuries, suspension, return dates, casualty ward and key information for the 2026 NRL Telstra Women’s Premiership season

The start of the 2026 NRLW season may be six months away but the hard work has well and truly begun as clubs look to hit the ground running come July.

A number of players who were struck with injury during the Pacific Championships are on track to be fit and firing for when the NRLW season launches on July 2 when the Sharks host the Knights.

Jillaroos and Roosters hooker Keeley Davis injured her shoulder in Australia’s match against the Kiwi Ferns at Eden Park, forcing her to miss the Pacific Championships final.

Second-rower Kezie Apps left the field late in the final with a lower back problem, while Kiwi Ferns and Cronulla Sharks back-rower Annessa Biddle suffered a head knock.

Gold Coast star Sienna Lofipo was also ruled out of Samoa’s game against the Jillaroos in the second week of the tournament with concussion but also suffered a leg injury. Having achieved plenty in 2025 with her international and Queensland Origin call-ups, Titans coach Karyn Murphy will be hoping the versatile forward won’t miss the start of the season.  

A number of players who have switched clubs over the off-season are also working towards being good to go for their new clubs, including Raiders signing Bobbi Law and Tegan Dymock, who is returning to the Sharks.
