THREE York City Knights Ladies stars have been shortlisted for the 2022 Woman of Steel.

York trio Hollie Dodd, Sinead Peach and Tara Stanley are up for the annual Betfred Women’s Super League award, having led the Knights to a maiden League Leaders’ Shield after last month’s 22-14 win over Leeds Rhinos at Headingley Stadium.

St Helens pair Amy Hardcastle and Jodie Cunningham, the latter having won last year’s gong, are also shortlisted, as is inaugural 2018 winner Georgia Roche of Leeds Rhinos.

Performances up to and including the Grand Final, which will be held at the Totally Wicked Stadium on Sunday, September 18, will be taken into consideration before the winner is revealed on Thursday, September 22.

The first BWSL awards night will take place at Old Trafford on Saturday, September 24, before the men’s Betfred Super League Grand Final.

The Woman of Steel will be joined by the winners of the young player of the year, coach of the year, top tackler and top points scorer.
