The return of "Superwoman" has lifted the Broncos for their grand final rematch with the Sydney Roosters with winger Julia Robinson to play her first game back from a badly broken leg.

Robinson was one of the stars of the Holden Women’s Premiership last season for Brisbane with her freakish finishing ability and tough carries but she broke her leg playing for Wests Panthers in the South East Queensland women’s competition.

There were doubts she would be back in the time for the NRLW kick-off but Brisbane fullback Chelsea Baker said her return had given the whole side a boost.

"I am super-excited for ‘Superwoman’ to get back out there and show us us some more of her fantastic abilities. She flies everywhere. She has got no brakes and she is just so good for the game," Baker said.

"We’ve been really pushing for Julia to get back and have been really supportive. There have been a lot of ups and downs for her but we have all made sure we get around her and make sure she is the best prepared mentally and physically as possible.

"She didn’t know if she was going to be back because of the severity of the break. In the pre-season and the months after she did it she has been working so hard on her rehab, prehab and constantly working. She is so determined."

Robinson recorded an interview on video with the Broncos website which contains a clip of the day coach Kelvin Wright told her she was in the starting team for the Roosters clash in Melbourne on Saturday. The Brisbane winger’s joy at the news was unbridled.
