Rugby league star Julia Robinson has been a lightning rod for public opinion in her short but illustrious rugby league career so far. She sat down with Sam Squiers to explain how she found the sport quite late in life and what it's like having an army lifer for a mum (5:42)! Julia then explains how she was caught in a social media firestorm simply because she has some very useful muscles (21:16). When you get such vocal support from Sally Pearson and Libby Trickett you know you're doing something special and the #showyourmuslces campaign (26:03) that ensued showed how a storm of positivity can sometimes erupt from the most unlikely places.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Best Moments for Women in Sport in 2022 - Honourable mentions

Chloe Logarzo

Sam Squiers sits down with Matildas star Chloe Logarzo, who travelled an unconventional path to becoming a regular - and then a star - in the national setup.  Chloe walks us through her meteoric rise, before falling prey to what she called a horrendous attitude (8:28), which cost her a spot at the 2015 World Cup and derailed her career.  She then explains how a football prodigy ends up as a full-time landscaper (13:15), and then how she found her way back to playing all around the world (15:41), and finding her way to Olympics and World Cups. The Matildas veteran describes why injury has been a blessing (24:30), and her thoughts on how far women's football has come in her long career, and what it needs to keep growing in Australia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
