Warriors: Some big ins for the Warriors this week with the return of captain Apii Nicholls at fullback and Patricia Maliepo at five-eighth. The return to the backs of Tyra Wetera (wing) and Shakira Baker (centre) has caused a further reshuffle of the line-up, with Emmanita Paki moving from fullback to halfback and Lydia Turua-Quedley from halfback to her usual role at hooker. Capri Paekau is back on the bench after starting at nine last week, while other changes see Makayla Eli come from the bench to start in the second row, while Ashlee Matapo has been elevated to the bench after being the replacement player last week. Matekino Gray and Tysha Ikenasio will both miss the game through suspension.

Sharks: A few changes for the Sharks with Kiwi centre Annessa Biddle out with a shoulder injury suffered in last week's win over the Titans. Grace-Lee Weekes has been named to start. Other changes see a swap between forwards Stephanie Faulkner, who has been named to start, and Jacinta Carter, who will come from the bench this week. Manilita Takapautolo has been named in the second row in place of Jaydika Tafua who has a broken finger. Nakia Davis-Welsh has been elevated from 18th player to the bench, with young star Jada Taylor, who has been sidelined with a knee injury, named as the replacement player.

Wests Tigers: No changes for Brett Kimmorley's side who celebrated their first win of the season last week over the Dragons. Impressive rookie Caitlin Turnbull stays at fullback, with Jetaya Faifua the five-eighth.

Cowboys: After a successful return with Mackay Cutters via the QRL's BMD Premiership competition, second rower China Polata has been named to make her first NRLW appearance since tearing her ACL in Round 6 last season. Her inclusion comes for Tallisha Harden (quad injury), with Makenzie Weale also returning from a broken finger to start, moving Essay Banu back to the bench and Tafoa Asua into the reserves.
