Daniella Murphy is on a mission. All she has ever wanted to do is play rugby league, just like her three brothers. However, her grandma says no, her dad stays silent and the school bully just laughs in her face. Their message is clear - girls don't play footy. With the help of an old ally and a newfound hero, she tries to show everybody that they're wrong, but when a scary accident threatens to derail her dreams altogether, even Dani is ready to admit defeat. Will she ever be able to prove that she can do exactly what the boys can do?
We also have available teaching notes.
For this event, we're focusing on women and girls in rugby, and what Dani's empowerment means to readers and players! For this, we've pulled together a collection of resources and inspirations from the rugby league world to help aspiring players get ready for their first tackle.
