After the match she received one of the players’ player awards.
A Mabel Park SHS graduate, the powerful mobile middle forward is now in the Roosters 30 player NRLW squad, and is just an injury away from a call-up into the top 22.
Blake Cavallaro, the Roosters Junior Representative and Pathways Manager, said she was just a click of the fingers away from earning a top 22 contract this season, but regardless she was certain to rise into the NRLW in coming seasons.
Cavallaro was comfortable saying Joseph’s rise into the NRLW top squad was not a matter of if, it was a matter of when.
“She does the one percentagers. She is a person you can lean on when the going gets tough.’’
He said more impressive was that Joseph was prepared to fly too and from Logan at her own expense on the off chance of impressing the Roosters - which she ultimately did.
“She has gone above and beyond and her work ethic at training and ability to read the game is very good for a teenager.’’
