Top of the pops: The secret behind Hoswell's stunning 246-point season

They are just numbers to Manildra Rhinettes coach Molly Hoswell but they tell the story of one of the most dominant individual seasons in Woodbridge Cup history.

She said she didn't pay too much attention to the charts, instead just wanting to push herself after an injury plagued year.

"I'm not sure I really take much notice of it," she said.

"I sort of just go out and do what I do.

"I think this year I've made it a bit of a challenge for myself, especially coming back from injury last year and playing half a season, to see what I could really do.

"I didn't expect to have scored that many but it's a pleasant surprise."

Hoswell isn't just suiting up for Manildra however, she's also part of the inaugural Molong Magpies women's side.

They play Parkes Boars in Narromine on Saturday for a place in the Westfund North Cup grand final.

She said she still felt like she was adjusting to life in the other code.

"I was supposed to play with Orange City this year with some of my friends but I went to the first Magpies game and I watched the girls and they had no subs and I felt really bad," she said.

"One of my really good friends, Olivia Hogan, she was in my ear the whole time and I sort of just gave in and thought why not I'll give it a go.

"I think, just the ruck and how fast and how much running it is [are challenges].

"I still feel like I don't know all the rules but I feel like I've done pretty well to get through a season."

Having climbed the summit of Woodbridge Cup league tag in 2023, Hoswell had one simple message for her players in preseason.

"I said to the girls at the start of the year that last year's grand final win meant nothing," she said.

"We had to start from the bottom again and work our way up if we wanted to be there."

So far, so good for the defending premiers as they host Peak Hill Bantams in the preliminary final at Jack Huxley Oval on Saturday, August 17.

Hoswell said the side had enjoyed the week off but would be ready and raring to go come kick-off.

"We train three nights this week so I think we're pretty keen to keep getting running in our legs," she said.

"I make sure we're prepared, I think we enjoyed the weekend off, but we're definitely ready to go again this weekend.

"Last time it was only 10 points in it [against Peak Hill].

"So we've definitely got to watch their halves, definitely their full back (Sheldyn Briggs) and they've got a pretty strong kicking game.

"So I think if we can just shut down their key players, I think we'll be all right.

"They are a good side so we're going to have to work hard."
