Souths' Women in League jersey is honouring a woman named Maggie Moloney. Moloney made her debut in the world’s first public match of Women’s Rugby League in 1921. Maggie’s brother played first grade for the Rabbitohs in 1921, and her nickname was 'Souths Moloney' because she was so fond of the Rabbitohs.

Ziggy Przeklasa-Adamski is in charge tonight. Nick Beashel makes a welcome return to the sideline at NRL level along with Liam Kennedy. Matt Noyen is in the mobile bunker out at Tamworth tonight.
