And why would the former touch footballer and rugby union five-eighth want to move anywhere after an "unexpected" run of success in the 13-player game over the last two years.
Nelson Bay-raised Law, who now lives at Shortland, helped CRL Newcastle claim the 2019 NSW Women's Premiership in her maiden rugby league season while also representing NSW Country and making her NRLW debut for the Sydney Roosters.
The 23-year-old has backed it up in 2020 as part of the Central Coast Roosters side who lead the state ladder after six rounds and recent training appearances with the NSW Blues squad.
"I wouldn't expect that I'd be invited to go and join that squad but I have and it's awesome," Law told the Newcastle Herald.
"All the girls that have played at such a high level and played for a while, to be added and learn from them is very exciting."
Law is joined in the state group by Central Coast teammates Isabelle Kelly, Hannah Southwell, Caitlan Johnston, Mel Howard and Jayme Fressard. The Blues assistant coach is Kylie Hilder.
A one-off Origin clash between NSW and Queensland has been scheduled for November 13, pushed back because of the global coronavirus pandemic.
Two sessions, one in July and one in August, with the Blues at the NSWRL centre of excellence in Homebush have the playmaker dreaming of an Origin jersey.
"Always is [the aim] just to play a higher level and develop more as a player, that's the ultimate goal in the end," she said.
Law remains "in talks" with the Roosters about this year's NRLW campaign, but final "squads haven't been released".
She scored a try in her first game last season, playing centre in a 24-16 loss to the Dragons.
"The Roosters are such an amazing club. They treat you like you're familty. Very world class. It was such an awesome experience. Playing with and against such good girls. Games were a higher quality," Law said.
As for the top-ranked Central Coast, who beat nearest rivals Cronulla on the weekend.
"We've clicked really well. We don't have as much size in our front row compared to other teams, but we're fitter, quicker and more agile. It works in our favour and suits our game plan," she said.
Law, who works at Aboriginal Safe Gambling with former Knights player Ash Gordon, prefers her current sporting code after a soild grounding in touch footy.
"I like the flow of rugby league better than union," she said.
"I think that style of game suits me better."
