The team also sends its love to Knights captain Yasmin Meakes following her ACL injury, examines the Warriors’ pathways in New Zealand and celebrates the Bulldogs’ breakthrough victory.

Then it’s time to preview every Round 4 match, with Ruan revealing her tips and nominating the young Knight reminding her of an emerging Tamika Upton.
