Key Match Up

Caitlyn Halse v Charlotte Caslick


Halse grew up idolising Caslick and now faces the tough task of shutting her down.

The Reds’ rise has coincided with Caslick’s move into the starting side, adding some class to the backline.


Meanwhile, Halse is back from a hamstring injury and knows a big game will go a long way to securing the title and her spot in the Wallaroos starting side.
