Prodigious halfback Koffi Brookfield swept the awards at Tuesday's Female Junior Representative presentation night, earning the title of the 2025 Sharks Female Pathways Player of the Year.

In a ceremony celebrating the achievements of the Lisa Fiaola and Tarsha Gale Cup teams, Brookfield snared three major awards at Sharks at Kareela.

As well as receiving the prestigious Female Pathways Player of the Year award, Brookfield was crowned the Tarsha Gale Player of the Year and Players' Player.

Arriving at the Sharks this year after helping the Steelers win the 2024 Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership, Brookfield played every game and cemented herself as an integral part of a Tarsha Gale side that finished eighth with four wins.

For the Lisa Fiaola Cup squad (fourth; six wins), prop Henrietta Mayers received the Player of the Year gong while halfback Julliana Kolio was named Players' Player.

Mayers was a strong force through the middle, laying the foundation for the under-17 team to reach the second week of the finals.

Kolio spent the season making line breaks and putting her teammates through holes to get points on the board.

Throughout their 2025 campaigns, both teams displayed immense determination and came away with impressive results. Round 2 against Manly was a particular highlight, with the Tarsha Gale squad claiming a 48-6 win and the Lisa Fiaola girls snatching a 50-4 victory in a reflection of their talent and commitment.

The Tarsha Gale side also defeated eventual premiers Parramatta 36-14 in Round 5, showcasing their ability to mix it with the best when at full strength.

Both squads attended the awards night and were recognised for their admirable efforts, making the club and all fans proud. NRLW coach Tony Herman, NRLW & Female Pathway Manager Casey Bromilow and General Manager Football Darren Mooney were also in attendance, while NRLW star Jada Taylor emceed the event.

Major partner John Ryan Freight Services were represented by Sue Ryan, with fellow sponsors Miller Freight Management, SBA Earthmoving Attachments, Shore Hire and Cronulla Carpets mentioned and thanked throughout proceedings.
