Two of Women's Super League stars are set to leave the competition, with a third potentially set to follow. England internationals Hollie-Mae Dodd, Georgia Roche and Fran Goldthorp were all absent for the Super League opener between Leeds Rhinos and York Valkyrie, with the respective coaches confirming that NRL moves were likely for Dodd and Roche.
Lindsay Anfield, the York coach, confirmed that Dodd was emotional after the game given it could have been her last for the club. She is expected to join Canberra Raiders.
Meanwhile, Rhinos counterpart Lois Forsell admitted that Roche, a former Women of Steel, had missed the game due to ongoing talks with an NRL club, which is thought to be Newcastle Knights.
