On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...
From Golden Boot glory to breaking the Gold Coast's all-time try scoring record, 2023 has seen it all for both the NRL and NRLW Titans.
With the festive season in full swing and the new year not too far away.... take a look back at the season that was with the 12 stats of Christmas.
1. Golden Boot awarded to NRLW captain Georgia Hale, leading the Kiwi Ferns to their first win against Australia since 2016.
2. Field goals by last-second saviour Lauren Brown, who created NRLW history as the first player to kick two or more field goals in a season.
Lauren Brown wins it
3. Tries in a grand final from hat-trick hero Jaime Chapman.
4. Games with 200+ running metres by Titans captain Tino Fa’asuamaleaui.
5. Games in a row the Titans scored 26 points. In Round 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 they scored 26 points.
6. Double-try performances from points-scoring machine Alofiana Khan-Pereira, all adding to his record-breaking tally of 20, the most in a season by a Titans player.
Khan-Pereira becomes a record holder
