Hunter MP Dan Rapacholi also honoured Ali on social media, posting a video of players from the West Maitland Junior Rugby League Football Club’s tribute to the avid rugby player by releasing balloons and honouring her #3 jersey. “A young life taken far too soon is something no family, teammates, coaches or community should ever have to face.” This weekend, our wider Roosters family will have the opportunity to stand beside them as we pay tribute to a much-loved member of our Club.”
