Tess Staines

Hey guys! I'm 20 years old and I have recently moved up to sydney to persue a rugby league career, currently with Parramatta Eels. I moved from a small country town called leeton which is roughly 600kms south of sydney so its been a very big change. My career started when I was 17 where I played for the Riverina Bulls in the country championships where we took out the comp! From there I was selected into the NSW country team, the inaugral U/18s NSW state of origin team, and the prime ministers VIII where we flew to Fiji to play. I have since made the Country team again, and am now with the Eels. Over the last couple of years I have played alot of union aswell, playing for the ACT Brumbies in the Super W, and in the AON 7s state competition. Before moving to Sydney outside of sport was always spent with family doing activites that involved horses and dogs, and lots of time outside camping/hunting.
