NRLW star Millie Elliott has appealed for her premiership ring to be returned after it was stolen from her home over the weekend.
Elliott (nee Boyle) was part of the star studded Sydney Roosters side that defeated Cronulla 32-28 in the NRLW Grand Final to claim the club’s second premiership.

But a week after winning the decider, the 26-year-old prop revealed her premiership ring had gone missing from her home in Newcastle in suspicious circumstances.
She wrote on Instagram: “PSA. If you work in a pawnshop in Newy and someone comes in with a number 8 premiership ring to swap for cash please let me know because it’s probably not theirs and they came into my house at night and stole it.”
It’s a disappointing end to the season for Elliott, who enjoyed another stellar NRLW campaign.
She was named in the NRLW Dally M team of the year and made history by winning her fourth premiership in the competition’s seventh season.
Elliott won two premierships with the Brisbane Broncos and another with the Newcastle Knights in 2022 before making the move to the Roosters.
She joined legendary hardman Glenn Lazarus as the only players to win premierships with three different clubs.
Lazarus famously won with Canberra (1989, 1990), the Brisbane Broncos (1992, 1993) and the Melbourne Storm (1999).
Elliott married Knights forward Adam Elliott in the rugby league wedding of the year in 2023.
The couple tied the knot in Newcastle and celebrated by running through a guard of honour jumping off a pier into the ocean.
The NRLW superstar was recently named in the Jillaroos squad for the Pacific Championships, which kicks off with a clash against Papua New Guinea on Friday night.
There was controversy when Boyle’s teammate and newly crowned Dally M winner Olivia Kernick was left out of the Jillaroos squad.
Coach Brad Donald explained his decision by saying that veterans Kezie Apps and Mahalia Murphy were the preferred players in the back-row.
“Liv is probably not too far off, she was on the bench for NSW this year as well and she will be the next one in if something went down,” Donald said on Monday in comments that have since come under fire.
“When you’ve got the captain in your position in Kezie Apps, it’s quite difficult. Then the versatility (of) Mahalia as well.”
Kernick, who found out she’d missed the squad while celebrating the premiership win, was disappointed but philosophical on her non-selection.
“You know what? It was sad and I know what I need to work on,” she said on the Upfront podcast hosted by Roosters teammates Elliott and Keeley Davis.
“I was with my teammates and I actually enjoyed the rest of the day. I had a good time.
“Disappointed for myself but so happy for the girls and can’t wait to cheer them on. Obviously would’ve loved to have been in there with you girls.”
Donald said Kernick would be the next player called into the squad should injury strike.
Roosters teammate Elliott, who was recalled to the Jillaroos squad, said she was disappointed it coincided with Kernick’s axing.
“I’m a one-hit wonder, I played one game back in 2019. It’s my first time back in the team, obviously would’ve loved to be in there with you girls,” she said.
