With the team unable to get any practice in, due to government restrictions, Lepaio and the squad have taken to the team's Facebook page to deliver frequent drills and tips to stay active at home.

Keeping the team spirit flying high is something the Rams skipper can throw her full support behind.

"It just keeps everyone involved even though we can't train or play together. It keeps everyone's minds busy and makes sure we aren't just sitting around," Lepaio said.

"Because we had camp in December we've got a few drills and fitness programs in place.

"I guess people have just been going with a few of their favourites and what they want to share with other people and feel confident giving their opinions on."

Lepaio got the ball rolling last week with a series of drills, which included ball handling and passing routines.

Prior to Lepaio's video, Western coach Jess Skinner posted a clip stating that the drills would be used as a way to introduce players and help foster interest.

"I'm extremely passionate about growing the game, and why should that stop now?" she said.

"The girls will be sharing activities they do to keep themselves fit, up-skilled and entertained."

Lepaio's Western teammates Tabua Tuinakauvadra and Lailee Phillips have also since posted drills on the page.

The captain downplayed her own effort in front of the camera, but said it's an enjoyable way to keep connected.

"Obviously some of us weren't made for video commentary," Lepaio laughed.

"But it's a bit of fun, and if you can do a bit of fitness as well then that's even better."

The game has enjoyed steady growth in recent years, and that doesn't look like stopping despite the hurdles 2020 has delivered.

There's a strong chance the Western Women's Rugby League competition at the end of the year can still go ahead, and Lepaio is preparing as if that will be the case.

"We ended up being able to get our second game of the Country Champs but we didn't get enough points to move onto the next competition so we were looking for a few extra games to play in the interim," she said.

"Hopefully by October the Covid situation will have died down a bit and the Western women's tackle comp can go ahead.

"There's no winter comp for it so a lot of the girls play tag or rugby union and that might affect people's fitness levels when it does come back around, but everyone's in the same boat at the moment. We'll just take it as it comes."
