NRL Women's Signings Tracker: Squads finalised as trials begin

Squads for the inaugural NRL Holden Women's Premiership have been finalised with the Sydney Roosters, St George Illawarra Dragons, Brisbane Broncos and New Zealand Warriors assembling in a history-making time for the game.

The NRL Holden women's premiership will be played as a double-header during the men's final series. Four teams won licences in the inaugural first season of the competition, kicking off in September.

Under the rules of the new competition, a maximum of 15 players were allowed to be recruited from both the Australian (40 players) and New Zealand (20 players) elite squads. 

The remaining spots of the 22-player squads are made up of free agents, scouted from local competitions, Talent ID camps and rival codes.

The Warriors played their first trial against an Auckland side on Friday night at Mt Smart Stadium, winning by a large margin.
