Welcome to The Wrap, a weekly podcast covering women's sports news.
Bez, what have we got around the grounds this week?
Aussie Isabella Nicholls has won surfing's Bells at Beach Pro.
Ringing the bell.
Can't get any better than winning on home soil.
And also the trophy is like this amazing wooden thing with a bell inside of it.
It's actually really funny trying to watch people ring the bell because it's obviously
iconic to ring the bell, but it's kind of shaking this big wooden thing.
Anyway, if you haven't looked at it, have a look.
But Alexa Leary has broken her own swimming world record and Arsenal have qualified for
their first Champions League final in 18 years.
We won't speak about Chelsea's result.
For the key story, we'll discuss the WNBL's new collective bargaining agreement that will
see the players' minimum wage more than double over four years.
That's a good news story coming out of the WNBL.
More than double is nice.
Yeah, we like that.
Bez, you are not wearing T-Fab merch today and I was going to get you in trouble, but
who are you going to get me in trouble with?
The founder was going to wrap me over the knuckles.
Yeah, we haven't been back in studio since the big win, so I thought I would rock a 2025
Up the mighty tires.
You guys won your sixth.
It was a great day.
Beautiful day at North Sydney Oval.
Good game of rugby.
And it was a very fun couple of days afterwards.
Dynasty or dynasty?
Who says dynasty?
People that eat in diners.
Yeah, you guys have really dominated that competition, haven't you?
Yeah, it's been a pleasure seeing the team grow this season, I think, because we weren't
red hot at the beginning of the year, so it was really nice to see them play some of their
best rugby when it counted.
And speaking of teams that wear blue jerseys.
Speaking of teams that win blue jerseys and like to beat Queenslanders, so we did beat
the Reds in the final.
This Thursday, we have a State of Origin watch party where you can watch New South Wales
Rugby League team spank a Queensland team.
So if you haven't already, jump on our socials and book yourselves a ticket.
Wayward Brewing in Camperdown.
So we'll be in the pub.
Food and drink, trivia, giveaways.
And producer Soph can put the link in the show notes too to make it easy for you.
Queenslanders, we do want to beat you in State of Origin, but we will be-
We want to be your friends.
We're coming to see you.
We want to be your friends.
We're coming up to the Gold Coast.
The TFAP team are coming up to the Gold Coast.
We are doing a live podcast with Aussie Surfer.
She's an absolute rocket.
Pickles is killing it.
She's killing it.
So we'll be at Kira Beach House on the Goldie Wednesday, the 7th of May, 6pm.
Again, we'll get Soph to pop the link in the show notes.
We can't wait to see you Queensland TFAP fam.
And just don't hold any of my anti-Queensland bias against me in real life.
That's fair enough.
Not really, but yeah, sure.
Last one before we get around the grounds.
Annika Wells, Federal Minister for Sport.
It was a really interesting chat.
I've loved the way that we've grown into not interviewing just athletes.
We're interviewing lots of people who have roles in sport, lots of women who have roles
Really cool chat about how funding and policy work and how they impact community, grassroots
sport, but also all the way through to the elite level.
Boards, off-field stuff.
Annika Wells episode on the Female Athlete Project.
We are recording.
Let's take a look around the grounds.
So in surfing, Aussie surfer Isabella Nicholls has claimed the biggest victory of her surfing
career by downing young Brazilian star Luana Silva in the women's final at Bells Beach.
Nicholls threw down the gauntlet with a big early score of 8.33 and backed it up with
a fourth wave 7.93 to beat Silva 16.26 to 12.67.
She was epic in those conditions.
Really surfed super well.
It marks only her second time in the women's final.
She's been in the women's final for a long time.
She's been in the women's final for a long time.
Second career victory on the tour after winning the Margaret River Pro three years ago.
And it was her first this year after the 27-year-old only made her way back onto the elite champions
That's really impressive.
On her way to the big dance, Nicholls took down her celebrated countrywoman, two-time
world champ, Tyler Wright.
That was a rough semifinal for Tyler.
The waves just did not come her way.
But I do love when I have a look at the app and see who's on and when.
I love it when there's an all Aussie semifinal.
Yeah, when you see the two Aussie flags.
We're getting an Aussie finalist.
And I know that Bells holds a special place in Tyler's heart.
She was going for her third, Bell.
But awesome to see Isabella Nicholls get the win.
In Super Netball, the Sunshine Coast Lightning have overpowered the Queensland Firebirds
64-50 to claim the first Queensland Derby of the season.
Also known as the Battle of the Bruce, named after the Bruce Highway that runs through
Battle of the Bruce is good.
Just actually on that topic, can we talk about, what do they call it?
The Central Coast v. Newcastle in the A-League?
It was the F3 battle, but it's not called the F3 anymore.
Yeah, but is it still called the F3 Derby?
And so like one out of the men's and women's, one of them have like the side, metal side
railing as their trophy.
And then the other one is like a piece of the road on the trophy.
I didn't know that.
Oh my gosh, they are amazing.
So I would like to know if the Battle of the Bruce has...
I'm going to look that up actually.
Or maybe just a little statue of Bruce McIverney, even though it's not related, but just...
Battle of the Bruce.
I take a statue of that Bruce any day of the week.
The Lightning came out firing, capitalizing on early turnovers to go into the quarter
time break, leading 17 to 13.
The Firebirds recovered to claw back the lead early in the second, working the ball more
patiently to circle edge.
But once Riley Batchelor was injected for super.
shot impact, the Lightning powered on to take a 33 to 26 lead at halftime.
Lightning continued to dominate in the third term, using scoreboard pressure to rattle
a shaky Firebirds outfit.
Lightning's attack only ramped up in the final term, and the crowd erupted as Kara
Conan sank two super shots in the dying minutes of the game, silencing critics and underscoring
an outstanding performance in her hundredth game for the Lightning.
I love when someone has a good milestone game.
Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?
I can get around that.
Can we discuss...
Can we discuss Robert Irwin being at the game?
Firstly, like, when did Robert Irwin turn into a man?
Well, are we talking about the Bonds underwear ad?
Well, just in general.
Oh, I remember him.
I'm obviously a bit older than you, but I remember him as a little kid running around after his
dad, picking up ridiculous snakes.
First of all, how is he still alive?
Look, he lives on the edge, doesn't he?
He does live on the edge.
Second of all, yeah, he's a full-grown man.
He is a full-grown man.
My algorithm is all.
Like, baby mother content at the moment, as you can imagine.
And there was this really funny reel I saw the other day, and it was like when you're
scrolling through your baby content, and suddenly you see the Robert Irwin Bonds ad, and the
lady actually, like, spat out her cup of tea.
But he was at the netball.
So, though, Lightning have been trying to get him there every week, because obviously
he lives in Sunshine Coast there, where the...
Is that you saying the north?
You should say Bess's hand, north.
What is Irwin's world called?
You know, they're...
They're not Australia Zoo.
Where's Australia Zoo in Canberra?
They're Australia Zoo.
So, yeah, that's where they are.
So, they've been trying to get Robert Irwin to a Lightning game, and it only took three
He presented the umpires with the ball.
I also love when, like, people get around something, and then it happens.
Listen to the people.
In some Diamond League news, the Aussie women have impressed at the first Diamond League
event of the year with four podiums and two new national records.
Olympic high jumpers Eleanor Patterson and Nicola Oleslagos once again proved their podium
pedigree, finishing second and third, respectively.
Probably the Ukrainian would be my guess.
She's not invited next event.
Both Australians cleared 1.94 metres, with Patterson taking silver after an early miss
at 1.91, while Oleslagos secured bronze on countback after a stumble at 1.94.
Neither athlete was able to clear 1.97 metres for victory.
It was a breaking night for Australia's distance duo with Abby Caldwell and Rose Davies, who
shattered the 1,000-metre and 5,000-metre Australian records, respectively.
Love seeing the girls break records.
Sorry, I was a bit distracted Googling, but I do also.
Davies was the first non-African across the line in the 5,000 metres, clocking 14 minutes,
40 seconds, 0.83, to lower her own Australian record by 0.82 seconds to finish ninth.
Can confirm it was the Ukrainian who won gold in the high jump.
Gold, well, she goes right there, Ukrainian.
She had a first attempt clearance at 1.97, and then three unsuccessful cracks at 2.03,
just for context.
Thanks for the update.
Meanwhile, Caudill etched her name into her Australian record books once more, regaining
the Australian 1,000-metre record.
She crossed the finish line in second place to set a new area record of 2 minutes and
32 seconds, 0.94.
We need someone to tell us how to do those things.
2 minutes and 32.94 seconds.
I don't like that version.
None of it's great, but can we talk about 1,000 metres?
That's a kilometre.
2.32.94 for a kilometre.
How do you feel about that?
I feel really, really quite gross about it.
Her compatriot, Sarah Billings, rounded out the podium in third with the second fastest
time by an Australian in 2.33.45.
Yeah, but like there's no context around...
I know, but is it just like you say each number with a pause and people know that it goes
And then one dot?
In a bit of Women's Champion League news, Arsenal have reached the Champions League
final for the first time in 18 years.
I can't really believe that.
There's been some really...
Like if you think Barcelona had a mortgage...
Well, that's actually wrong.
Lyon have had a mortgage on that competition.
And then Chelsea have snuck in a few times.
Chelsea have probably taken Arsenal's place a few times.
Not this time, unfortunately.
Ah, we won't discuss that.
We got absolutely spanked by Barcelona.
4-1 in both legs.
8-2 on aggregate.
That's not a nice aggregate at all, is it?
I was going to say we won't talk about it, but you talked about it anyway.
Well, the people need to know.
And you know, sometimes I lose and that's okay.
Sometimes the blue team doesn't win.
Way to bring it back.
Buy tickets to the Origin Watch Party.
This is how our friendship goes, isn't it?
We're back to Arsenal.
Right, the red team.
They had a remarkable fight back from 2-1 down in the first leg to beat Lyon 5-2 on aggregate.
Lyon got off to the worst possible start when a mix-up between Christiane Endler and Lyon's
stalwart defender, Wendy Renard, resulted in the ball pinging off the goalkeeper's back
and into the back of the net from a corner after five minutes.
Oh, that's heartbreaking.
That's uncomfortable.
It's really heartbreaking when you just, it's a genuine stupid mistake and it results in a goal.
Especially for such high stakes, right?
Mariana Caldenti then gave Arsenal the lead in a tie when she struck beautifully into the top corner from 20 yards out.
It seemed inevitable that European giants Lyon would come back into it in the second half
after what was undoubtedly a stern team talk from former Arsenal boss Joe Montemaro,
who cut a frustrated figure on the touchline.
But Alessio Russo took advantage of a loose ball and slotted in the bottom corner
after Lyon made a mess of trying to clear it inside.
The first minute of the second half, Caitlin Ford capped off a memorable afternoon for the Gunners
when she slashed, I was going to say.
She slashed into the roof of the net.
When she lashed it into the roof of the net after Vanessa Gillies slipped while trying to play out from the back.
Melchi De Mornay rifled in at near post in the 81st minute, but it proved too little too late for the home side
as Arsenal progressed to the showpiece on the 24th of May in Lisbon.
That will be an epic between Arsenal and Barcelona, as I said, who absolutely destroyed my blues.
In more football news, Melbourne City, since we've been away, have done the unthinkable in the Women's A-League,
winning the minor premiership after an unbeaten regular season.
That's quite crazy.
It's very impressive.
Are they the first team to ever do that?
Let me keep reading.
City's 16th win of the campaign to go is seven draws and obviously no defeats.
Defeats ensured the club's second consecutive premiership.
And fourth in club history.
It's got to be the first time someone's gone through undefeated.
Maybe I'll Google while you keep going.
The win gifted Melbourne City the week off.
While for the first time in club history, Adelaide United have won a final series match after defeating Western United 1-0.
Adelaide United took the lead in the 24th minute as defender Matilda McNamara leapt highest inside the box
to head home Emily Condon's in-swinging corner to make it 1-0.
That goal was enough to earn them their first semifinals berth.
When they faced Melbourne Victory as part of the original rivalry.
Okay, so this says, this is an A-League's post, 23 games, zero defeats.
Melbourne City, the fourth team in A-League's history to go invincible.
But I think, so I think they're the fourth team to go unbeaten.
But I think they win it with the competition's record because of the amount of games now.
Yes, that makes sense.
Technically they're kind of the best to do it because there's way more games.
Can we talk about Alana Kennedy?
Poor Alana Kennedy.
She just has had a shocking run.
I've got a theory on this.
Read the news first.
That's what we're here for, isn't it?
We'll discuss more later.
Angel City have gone down 3-2 to the Orlando Pride in the NWSL in the US.
Forward Riley Tiernan and midfielder Katie Zellum scored for ACFC with Marta, Barbara Banda
and an Angel City own goal rounding out the scoring.
I just love that Marta is just, she's like Beyonce.
But one highlight of the match, if you can call it that, was Aussie Alana Kennedy suffering
another facial injury.
Is it, what do you reckon it is, in the space of two years?
How long ago was that?
The big screen, there was the big screen broken nose.
There was a more recent eye and then was this one an eye again?
Yeah, it was a massive black eye or closed eye really.
Gosh, as someone who's had a facial fracture, every time I see it I'm like, I feel for you.
Make you feel ill?
Yeah, a little bit.
Here's my hot take.
Completely not scientifically fact-based, as all of our hot takes really are, let's
She's tall, right?
So when people are jumping up into her or jumping up to compete for a header, she's
She's kind of headering down and someone else is headering up.
Let's confirm, kids, do not watch this as your how to do a header technique, but I like
Yeah, do you like it?
And I think especially in the position that she plays as well, right?
She's often trying to clear balls from the air.
Yeah, I like that.
Have we got, have you seen the actual incident?
It was actually kind of on the halfway line and it was a header collision.
I mean, you'd kind of hope, otherwise what is it, a ball to the face?
Like it's most likely going to be a header, a facial injury, right?
It's head on head, most often.
There's my hot take.
Sending love, hope you recover okay.
Are we talking Super, we're talking Super W Grand, I can't really, it feels like a lifetime
ago that you guys won.
I can't believe we haven't talked about it.
I was on the drive over here.
I was thinking to myself, oh, we haven't spoken about Super W Grand Final.
And I was like, obviously I wore my t-shirt, but I was on the way over here thinking, what
I was like, so full of written it down.
You don't remember this.
I often don't remember the score of big games.
Were you guys 43?
Oh, I was going to say 21.
So yes, Mighty New South Wales Waratahs defeated an impressive Queensland Reds, 43-21.
But the score, you know, it's an old cliche, but the score probably
wasn't reflective of the battle the Reds put up.
But I think it was reflective of our quality.
Desi Miller, huge player of the match.
Just so hard to tackle.
Sorry, I'm not shaking my head at what you're saying.
I just got another text from the Trumpet of Patriots.
Take your super anytime.
Cut immigration by 80% and some other things on there.
Stop texting me, Clive.
You've got to, how do you opt out of that?
There's no opt out.
I'm so glad I'm not getting them because they obviously don't have a candidate in this scene.
Please talk about something better.
So she was absolutely everywhere, all over the park.
But look, you know, rugby is a 15-person game.
Well, it's a 23-person game, to be perfectly honest.
But Desi kind of benefits from us winning the battle at the breakdown.
Former Waratah, Eva Kapani, got the Reds on the board with a bar.
Large over the line from close.
Happy for Eva to score.
Not happy for her to win, so that's fine.
But it was the Waratah's first half.
As Kapani's opposite number, Faliki Pohiva, crashed over for a 19-7 lead at the back.
Faliki's been immense for us this year.
She really stepped into Eva's shoes.
They both have very large feet, so they probably could share boots.
And really did a job for us in that physicality piece.
Elaine Morgan, another former TAR.
She sparked the Reds.
She was really good.
She was really good.
She was really good.
She was really good.
She was really good.
She was really good for them again.
Just playing the way Elaine does.
And it was pretty close.
I would like to say, I love you, Elaine, but she did not tap the ball.
The ball did not move when she tapped it.
Did you notice that?
Did not release the ball.
They were down to 14.
And it was getting, I think they were, when we had a player sent to Simbin,
we were within, they were within five or seven.
But the reality is, and it's something that we spoke about,
that, you know, to keep it, make it kind of basic,
winners win and that group of players know how to win.
They were never panicked.
They always knew that if they played their best footy,
they were good enough.
One special try that we do have to mention was our mate,
The horse or grommet.
She scored with 12 minutes left to really seal a deal.
She ran an inside line.
She tells a story that when Caitlin Hulse, the kid,
made the initial break and she could hear Hulse screaming for it on her
inside, she kind of looked around like,
there's got to be someone else I can pass this to.
Because for context, props don't usually score a lot of tries.
Unless you're Eva Carpani, probably.
She was about 12 out.
She had a little bit of work to do.
When I saw her post game, she reckoned she was 70 metres out from the try line.
70 metres, she reckons.
So it was obviously an amazing, amazing day.
Great for us to win back to back.
I was incredibly pleased for the group.
And then you guys headed over for the first ever Super Rugby Champions final over in Auckland.
There was a cyclone happening.
The weather conditions looked insane.
I don't know if we need to go play by play of the game because it probably wasn't the
result you wanted,
but just overall,
what do you think that meant for both competitions?
It's definitely something that we want to build and we obviously want to extend the competition.
I've spoken multiple times about how Super Rugby Women's was way too short this year.
We need more footy.
Um, at that level,
the Auckland Blues,
the champions game,
they were calling it the champions final was played on the Thursday.
We both played our grand funnels respectively on the Saturday.
We trained Monday night.
we met at TARS HQ at 4 30 in the morning on Tuesday morning for a 7 AM flight.
That's so brutal.
We travelled and granted,
Auckland's not ridiculously too far away,
but it was just a really big week and not making excuses.
But to make that championship final as good as it could be,
we probably need to look at scheduling a bit better.
both teams were the same.
We obviously had the travel thrown in that they didn't,
And then just to top it off,
Cyclone Tam was in full effect in Auckland and that was some of the worst
conditions I've ever seen.
They played way better than us.
We needed to control territory in those conditions and we didn't,
and their equality side.
So we did go down,
we'll get them next time.
we're going over to Europe for a bit of Six Nations news.
England has claimed a thrilling 43 to 42 victory over France to complete
their fourth successive Grand Slam in the women's Six Nations.
So I'm no French rugby fan for a number of reasons.
We're on a similar page here.
But I always found myself watching this game kind of supporting them.
There's been a lot of chat coming out of the UK,
not from the players themselves,
but from pundits saying that the Six Nations needs a revamp.
England has no competition.
We're too good for this competition.
that's not the playing group.
I'm happy for people to talk about it.
And they did start to run away with it.
The gap got to about 20 points at one point,
but the French came back.
I found myself secretly cheering for them.
And Kirsty was like,
are you going for the French?
no question mark.
it was an amazing game.
The French scored with 90 seconds on the clock.
Took the conversion to make it within one point.
Slotted two conversions late under pressure.
The French fullback can kick.
England kick off and there was a mix up on the,
on taking the kick.
It was just the most,
it was at Twickenham.
I'm not sure of the exact crowd numbers,
It was a beautiful English sunny day,
which is bizarre.
it was really the finish the Six Nations deserved.
obviously whoever won would win the Six Nations title.
It was just sad to see it end in that way.
I think for me watching that game,
I'm so excited for the World Cup this year.
It's going to be amazing.
And it will be England playing at Twickenham.
I am predicting it will be England playing in that final at Twickenham in front of a sold out Twickenham.
I'm going to be there.
It's not too late.
You should buy tickets.
You need to make it.
You need to make it.
You need to make it.
You need to make it.
You need to make it.
You need to make it happen.
You can hold Fred on the plane.
we're going for the whole six weeks.
if you're going to be allowed to go for six weeks.
I would love to hold him on the plane for 24 hours.
What if he doesn't put avocado all over me?
He started solids and I had a slight mishap on my hoodie and his knit.
It went out absolutely everywhere.
But he loved the avocado.
In some swimming.
The Aussie women have continued their Paris 2024 domination in the pool at this year's
Australian Open Swimming Championships.
The first world record of the event came from none other than Alexa Leary.
The 23-year-old smashed out a 59.22 to better her old mark of 59.53 from her gold medal
swim in Paris in the women's 100-meter freestyle S9.
When told of her record swim, Leary said,
Did I actually break the world record?
She's outrageous.
Later in the week, Leary added another national title, the women's 50-meter freestyle multi-class.
Meanwhile, Molly O'Callaghan won both the women's 200-meter and 100-meter freestyle
events and Kaylee McEwen continued where she'd left off in Paris, sweeping the backstroke
sprint events to win gold in the 50-meter backstroke in 27.22.
We are good in the pool.
Let's take a look.
Got the key story.
So the minimum wage for the WNBL players will more than...
Double in the coming years under a new four-year collective bargaining agreement, or CBA, which
was announced this week.
The current minimum wage for a WNBL player is pretty ordinary at $23,000.
That will increase to $46,952.
Let's call it $47,000 by the 2028-2029 season, which will equal the NBL's minimum wage pro
Now, assuming that's saying pro rata because they play a longer season.
Yeah, I think it's pro rata just on timing.
Yeah, that makes sense.
So the move has been labeled the biggest single equity leap forward in WNBL history by Australian
Basketball Players Association boss Jacob Holmes.
The four-year CBA, so when we say CBA, Collective Bargaining Agreement, as Bez said, the Players
Association and the league meet to discuss conditions around minimum salaries, travel
standards, pregnancy policies.
All the things that make the competition happen.
So it includes an annual salary cap.
Increase of 8% with salary caps equal to $723,500 by the end of the term.
This season's salary cap has been set at $574,000 up from $532,000 last season.
The deal will also see improvements, as we said, to a range of player conditions, including
greater investment in mental health support.
We love to see that.
Career development, as well as contract protection insurance payments for injured players.
Yeah, I'd love to know more about that because it's funny.
Well, it's not funny.
It's interesting when you say other improvements aside from just money.
One of the biggest things that I think women's sport, it would be amazing to have is just
standard private health cover provided for every athlete.
Oh my gosh, I'm such a big advocate.
I feel like we need to say that louder, that one.
That is just something that would just ease so much financial pressure from players and
from not necessarily the players on the big bucks, the players on that minimum wage, knowing
that their private health cover's covered would be huge.
And so for context, for people who don't know about sport contracts, a lot of the time these
sporting bodies will actually say that athletes need to have not just private health insurance,
but actually the top level of private health insurance a lot of the time.
And what will happen is if you get an injury or you need to get a scan or something done,
you need to see an external health professional.
It kind of varies.
Sometimes the athlete will pay claim on their private health and then get reimbursed by
the club is kind of standard practice.
So they can do that claiming process.
Yeah, so the athlete will get the treatment, claim on their private health care and any
Medicare, and then the club will often cover the gap.
But what's so tricky, I don't know if you have private, my private health insurance
It's so expensive.
I wouldn't know Kirstie pays it, but yes, it is so expensive.
You are not the breadwinner in your household, are you?
But I think, yeah, to your point, the fact that you can be on medical insurance, you
can pay a minimum wage in a sporting context, which is often lower than a standard minimum
wage, which how is that legal, but that's a conversation for another day.
It's a large chunk of it a lot of the time.
Yeah, I think that for me, obviously we talk about, you know, it becomes the minimum wage
for WNBL becoming $47,000.
Reality is if you're living in any of the big cities, $47,000 is not enough to live.
You are also working a second job as well.
If not, you know, maybe multiple.
Casual roles or whatever it might be.
But like you said, if you take private health cover out of that $47,000, you're not left
with a whole lot to pay rent, bills, food.
Two-time WNBL champion, Beck Cole, told the ABC that the increase is important because
from a roster of 12 contracted players, most teams would currently have only three to five
players with the luxury of dedicating full-time hours to basketball.
The announcement from, sorry, the announcement after Basketball Australia relinquished a majority
In the league to a consortium led by Wollemi Capital Group Syndicate and Larry Kesselman's
WNBL chief executive Jenny Sager told media, this is more than a pay deal.
It's a declaration of intent.
This is the kind of change that retains talent in Australia and signals to every young girl
picking up a basketball that there is a future here.
Yeah, it is a declaration of intent and it needs to be even better because like we said,
But still, that minimum amount is pretty minimum.
Let's take a look.
Go what to watch.
The women's, women's so one.
State of origin is what that acronym stands for.
Women's state of origin is back for another year and New South Wales will be looking to
avenge last year's series loss to Queensland.
The match kicks off at 7.45 p.m. and you can watch it live and free on the Nine Network.
Or even better, if you're in Sydney, come to Wayward Brewing Company from 7 p.m.
for TPAP's first ever live watch party.
I'm very excited.
I'm holding my microphone in the air.
