Cowboys: Jakiya Whitfeld is set to return as fullback after missing last with hamstring tightness, with Krystal Blackwell reverting to wing and Ana Malupo shifting to the reserves. Tahlulah Tillett retains her place at halfback, while Kirra Dibb has been named in the extended squad after she was a late withdrawal last week. Ricky Henry has named Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell to start and Essay Banu on the bench but could switch the two as happened in Round 3. Tiana Raftstrand-Smith, who was serving a suspension to start the season, has been listed in the reserves.

Raiders: Emma Barnes (concussion) and Kerehitina Matua (ankle) both return via the bench. Mackenzie Wiki comes into the side on the wing in place of Isabella Waterman, while Jordyn Preston is set to start for the first time this year in the back row. Coach Darrin Borthwick is also confident halfback Zahara Temara will be right to play despite "a little twinge of the hamstring" she suffered last week. "She managed to get through the game which was a positive," Borthwick said. "I've had a couple of other players filling in their at training so if she's not right then I know whoever steps into that role will do a good job."

Dragons: Charlotte Basham returns from a knee injury into the back row, triggering a forward pack reshuffle. Zali Hopkins and Pia Tapsell have also been named in the starting side, despite reverting to the interchange prior to kick-off last week. Nita Maynard-Perrin, Shenai Lendill and Trinity Tauaneai have all shifted back to the bench as a result, with Bronte Wilson moving to 18th player.  

Broncos: Kiwi prop Brianna Clark has been named to make her return from an ankle injury, but coach Scott Prince said she'd have to train well before the game to confirm she's right to start. Hooker Jada Ferguson is good to go after she was unable to finish the match against the Roosters with cramps. Lauren Dam shifts from the interchange to the second row to replace Tara McGrath-West, who injured her foot in last week's loss. Skyla Adams is the new face on the bench. Shalom Sauaso remains sidelined with a sternum injury.
