- Biography:
Tavarna Papalii joined the Brisbane Broncos ahead of the 2026 NRLW season after signing a two-year deal that will keep her at the Club through to the end of 2027.
The talented 20-year-old arrived in Brisbane following a breakthrough campaign with the Sydney Roosters, where she made her NRLW debut in 2024.
The versatile utility - who can play in the halves and back row - was selected for Queensland, where she played all three matches of the 2025 State of Origin series.
While injury curtailed her 2025 NRLW campaign, she showed resilience and determination in returning to represent Samoa in the Pacific Championships later that year.
