Vodafone Warriors cheerleader Danielle Miller has beaten her Aussie counterparts to claim the title of NRL Cheergirl of the Year.
The student teacher from Howick is the first person outside New South Wales and ACT to claim the crown.
“On my list of 100 things to do before I die was to one day have an article about me published somewhere,” says Danielle.
Her dream came true with an article and picture published on the NRL round 26 cover of Big League magazine.
She also receives an A$2000 leisure and adventure voucher from www.godo.com.au
“The Warriors are stoked. The girls in the [cheerleader] squad are excited and all the fans on the Vodafone One Tribe supporters’ website have been really behind me.
“So many people have backed me. Many of them saw the Times article and the voting was overwhelming. Now I want to do something to thank all the people who voted.”
Celebration plans included going out to dinner with her family and sharing her excitement with the Bendon Man Cheerleaders after the Warriors’ final home match on Saturday night against the Melbourne Storm.
