The Steelers punched their Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership Grand Final ticket with a 30-16 win over defending premiers Mounties at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday.
The evening belonged to Under 19s Origin star Indie Bostock who notched a decisive, first-half hat-trick to help steer her side to victory.

The Steelers got off to a dream start with front rower Bronte Wilson crashing over in the early stages off some sharp Kaarla Cowan dummy-half work to open her side's account.
From there, it became the Bostock show with the teenager snagging a trio of four-pointers in the space of 14 minutes to break the game wide open and earn the Steelers a 22-0 half-time lead.
Kahu Cassidy crossed for Mounties on the other side of half-time before Herewaka Pohatu found the Steelers' fifth 47 minutes in.
Back-to-back tries to Gwen Swann and Ruby Watterson saw Mounties storm back into the contest entering the final 10 but the Steelers' defence held strong.
Skipper Lily Rogan put the cherry on top of a commanding Steelers victory with a try of her own in the final stages.
They are now set meet the Knights in the 2024 Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership decider at CommBank Stadium next Sunday.
The Steelers will be looking to follow the example set by their Tarsha Gale Cup side who took down the Knights 24-12 in the competition's Grand Final back in April.
