Last updated:

Cowboys: The return of veteran Tallisha Harden (quad) sees Lillian Yarrow shift to the front row with China Polata also coming into the starting side after making a successful return an ACL injury off the bench last week. Abigail Roache (concussion) remains sidelined, meaning Krystal Blackwell will start at fullback with Jakiya Whitfeld in the centres and Ana Malupo on the wing. No late changes 24-hours out from the game, with Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell and Rosie Kelly remaining in the trimmed squad of 19. 

Roosters: Star fullback Corban Baxter remained in the reserves when the squad was trimmed to 19. Baxter is looking to return from an ankle injury suffered in Round 7. Should Baxter be right to play a backline shuffle would be triggered, but at this stage the Roosters have no changes to the 17 ahead of a challenging road trip to Townsville. Shawden Burton also remained in the squad.

Titans: Niall Williams-Guthrie is again listed in the reserves after making her return from a Lisfranc injury in the BMD Premiership. The veteran centre's last NRLW game was Round 7 last year. Sarina Masaga left the field late in the win over St George Illawarra but scans have cleared the centre of a knee injury.

Eels: Rosie Beckett's return from a concussion has been put on hold for another week, while Yasmine Baker has been listed in the reserves as she looks to complete her recovery from a knee injury.
