Tahlulah Tillett makes her NRLW Debut for the North QLD Cowboys

Tahlulah an former SMCC College student and Murray house leader has earned her spot in the North QLD Cowboys women’s team for Round 3 of the National Rugby League Women’s (NRLW) League. Tillett has demonstrated great resilience and determination to earn a spot in the NRLW Cowboys team, working extremely hard to come back after suffering injury setbacks early in her career.  As humble as they come, she is an inspiration to many and a great role model to the younger generation, females, and indigenous communities.  St Mary's Catholic College is extremely proud to see Tahlulah make her debut this week and we encourage the whole SMCC community to cheer her on.  

“Never give up on what you want to achieve and what you believe in”- Tahlulah Tillett
