Not only does this occur in the local derby, but do a quick scan of Western Rams matches, both league tag and women's tackle, and sure enough you'll find Stammer's name in there.
2019 marks her fourth year of representation with Western Rams in the league tag and Stammers is as pumped and excited about how the team is shaping up this year.
"We have a lot of speed this year which will help us against the Southern Stars, the Illawarra team are always tough," she said.
Part of the challenge of representative sides is gelling with players that are usually your opponents, but Stammers has loads of experience with that.
"There's a fair few Group 10 girls so we gel pretty well because we've all played a fair bit together and there are four or five St Pats girls and one from Hawks so we all played with group 10 and the same goes for the Group 11 girls," she said.
The squad will gather at Molong twice for training in the lead-up to their first game of the championship at Yass against Riverina on July 20.
The Rams girls will then play Monaro and Greater Southern Stars in rounds two and three before a winners progress through to the finals against their northern rivals.
