Last updated:
Wests Tigers: New recruit Ruby Fifita will make her NRLW debut from the interchange bench after Tiana-Lee Thorne was ruled out due to illness. Fifita, the sister of Titans star Jojo Fifita, was signed after impressing at the Harvey Norman Rising Talent Invitational in Newcastle. Lily Rogan moves from the centres to the wing in place of Thorne, with Portia Bourke set to start at centre. Jade Fonua is elevated from the interchange bench to start in the back-row. Evie McGrath is the 18th player.
Cowboys: A late change with Abigail Roach ruled out and Ana Malupo called into the starting side in the centres. Lillian Yarrow has been elevated into the starting side in the second row, with China Polata to make her return from an ACL injury from the bench. Makenzie Weale returns from a broken finger to start at prop, moving Essay Banu back to the bench. The Cowboys have won four of their past five games.
