- Biography:
Halfback Emily Curtain was among a group of six signings announced on the same day just before Christmas.
Signed for 2025 and 2026 (an option in 2026), she has made nine appearances for the Parramatta Eels and the Wests Tigers in 2021, 2022 and 2023. Her twin sister Sophie has also played in the NRLW.
Of her acquisition, head coach Ron Griffiths said: “At 23 years of age Emily has been involved in the NRLW for four years.
“Although her game time has been limited, she brings a wealth of experience having started her rugby league career with Eagle Vale St Andrews at nine years of age.
“We believe Emily’s tough defensive mindset coupled with her game management will be a great accompaniment to the squad.
“The gratitude and desire to succeed that she has expressed in every interaction gave us total confidence that she would relish the opportunity to play for the One New Zealand Warriors.”
Of signing to move to New Zealand, Curtain said: “I am so excited for a new chapter in my NRLW career and I am very excited to learn and grow as a person and a player.
“To be able to be given the opportunity to come over to New Zealand is going to be great for me to have a new start and an amazing opportunity.
“I am very grateful for the opportunity to be in the returning NRLW squad and can’t wait to see what we are able to produce and achieve in the comeback season.
“Ron and I have spoken and we both want the same thing. Play good consistent footy and come over fit, strong and eager. I am ready to learn/build personally and as a player.
“This is a great opportunity for me and I can’t wait to get over there and meet the team and get stuck into preseason ready for the 2025 season.”
