Retiring Sydney Roosters star Millie Elliott was seen cuddling her baby as she gave post-win interviews.
The grand final winner, whose team scored the largest advantage in history in an National Rugby League Women’s decider, was beaming following the Roosters’ win on Sunday.
Elliott smiled while celebrating the NRLW victory with baby Gigi on her hip.
She and partner, Rabbitohs player Adam Elliott, welcomed the little girl in September 2025.
‘It’s something we’ve been building towards all year. Week in, week out – footy,’ Elliott said on Sunday
‘To be able to put that kind of performance together in the grand final is very special. These girls really deserve this.’

‘We’ve been building all season and I can say that we definitely saved our best until last,’ she said.
