A big congratulations — and good luck — to two central Queensland women flying the flag on the biggest stage of the NRLW season.

Rockhampton's Tamika Upton and Lillian Yarrow have helped the Brisbane Broncos reach this weekend's grand final, with both playing starring roles in their preliminary final win over the Gold Coast Titans.

It means the Broncos will have the chance to go back-to-back in a rematch of last year's decider against the Sydney Roosters.

It's always special to see local talent making its mark at the highest level.

If you get the chance to watch on Sunday, keep an eye out for Tamika and Lillian as they chase another NRLW premiership — and hopefully bring the trophy back home to Queensland.

And here's a fun fact, both are past students of Rockhampton's Emmaus College, alongside Melbourne Storm star and Queensland State of Origin captain Cameron Munster.

Have a great week and remember, if you have a story idea drop an email to Rockhampton.Regional@abc.net.au and make sure you like our ABC Capricornia Facebook page for links to all of our stories and information about our upcoming outside broadcasts.
