A TEAM EFFORT
The goalkeeper has been central to the Reds’ strong early-year and defensive form, but Tullis-Joyce says that is the result of a collective effort.
Speaking to us during Tuesday’s Carrington Catch-Up – which you can watch back in full on YouTube – Phallon paid tribute to her team-mates as she was asked about her start to 2026, while joining us on the video stream at our training base.
“I don’t think about the stats! My very next sentence was going to be there has been some incredible blocks by this gal here [Anna Sandberg], Jayde [Riviere], Dom [Janssen], Maya [Le Tissier] – everyone in front that’s joining the backline has just been incredible,” the 29-year-old said, modestly.
“So, that all amounts to just that one goal [conceded], but I’m hoping for it to be zero! We’re still striving. But I just appreciate the defenders in front of me.”
