Featuring in all but two games for the Sharks this season, Gerstenberg was a consistent performer for the competition's runners up. 

Gerstenberg displayed her versatility this year playing majority of the season in the centres, however also filled in for coach Luke Hope in the backrow on multiple occasions. 

Her ability to hit the line hard and direct is a key aspect of the centres game, whilst also having a solid defensive base. 

In the 2025 season, Gerstenberg crossed for three tries and featured in the Team of the Week five times this season. 

#4 - Gabby Savage (West Belconnen Warriors)

In her first year in the KFS competition and at the West Belconnen Warriors, Gabby Savage proved a crucial member of the premier's squad. 

Playing 11 games this season, the strike centre scored 14 tries with her light footwork and tackle breaking ability highlights of her play. 

The highlight of her season came in the Grand Final, playing a critical role as the Warriors claimed their second title in three years, crossing for four tries in the 40-6 victory. 

Along with her club form, Savage featured five times for the Canberra Raiders Tarsha Gale side, scoring seven tries and a strong performance at the ASSRL Championships saw her selected in the Australian Schoolgirls side.
