Broncos: Ashleigh Werner has been suspended for two games by the NRL Judiciary for biting. Brisbane have lost their winger on the opposite side, Julia Robinson, to a hamstring injury, so Lauren Dam comes in from the bench to fill the void. With interchange player Filomina Hanisi also out, Lavinia Gould is promoted to the 17 after being the replacement player last week, while Brianna Clark is back on deck after overcoming a hand injury.

Titans: Taliah Fuimaono has been named in the reserves as she races the clock to overcome an ankle injury suffered last week. For the time being Sienna Lofipo, who came on for 13 minutes as a replacement player last week, is set to make her starting debut at halfback alongside Chantay Kiri-Ratu, who moves to the No.6 jersey. That is the only change to Karyn Murphy's side, with winger Emily Bass good to go after picking up an arm injury in the win over the Cowboys.

Raiders: Darrin Borthwick has named an unchanged line-up following a Round 1 defeat at the hands of the Sharks. Representative recruits Simaima Taufa and Madison Bartlett were among the standouts last week, with Taufa topping the tackle count with 40 and Bartlett scoring a double in addition to running for a team-high 149 metres from the wing.

Roosters: Amber Hall will miss Round 2 due to an ankle injury suffered last week, which presents Otesa Pule with the opportunity to start in the second row. New signing Lexi Kiriwi joins the bench, while former World Cup Player of the Tournament Teuila Fotu-Moala is listed as the 18th women.

Dragons: Jamie Soward has made widespread changes following the Round 1 loss to the Knights. That includes handing NRLW debuts wingers to Margot Vella and Cortez Te Pou, with Taylor Mapusua dropping out of the 17 and Shenai Lendill moving from the wing to second row. Roxy Murdoch moves from second row to prop, which bumps Tara McGrath-West back to be part of a new-look bench that includes debutante Kaarla Cowan. Zali Hopkins and Jamilee Bright drop out of the 17.

Eels: Parramatta are again without two of their most experienced players, with Elsie Albert and Rachael Pearson not named as they battle calf injuries which saw them be late withdrawals in Round 1. A hand injury to Jade Fonua sees her drop out and Rosemarie Beckett come in at No.7. Former Jillaroo Nakia Davis-Welsh comes into the 17 after missing Round 1, taking the place of Kyra Simon on the bench.

Knights: Skipper Hannah Southwell is available again for the first time since suffering a ACL injury in Round 1 of last year, but for now at least isn't part of the 17 and is listed as the replacement player. Tayla Predebon is set to play despite suffering a dislocated finger in Round 1 and is named to take her place in the starting front row. Kiwi Fern Laishon Albert-Jones is out after failing a HIA, so Kayla Romaniuk comes in to start at lock and Tiana Davison joins the interchange.

Cowboys: Kiwi Ferns representative Autumn-Rain Stephens-Daly comes in to make her club debut on the wing, with the former Knights back replacing the suspended Mia Middleton. After being a late inclusion in the run-on side last week, Krystal Blackwell keeps the five-eighth job, with returning half Tahlulah Tillett included in the extended reserves after overcoming the hand injury which kept her out of Round 1. Essay Banu and Jetaya Faifua are the new faces on the bench, replacing April Ngatunpuna and Vitalina Naikore.

Wests Tigers: Brett Kimmorley has retained the same 17 who thumped the Eels in their first outing at NRLW level last week, with teenage sensation Losana Lutu to again play a role off the bench. Fullback Botille Vette-Welsh got through her return to the NRLW arena unscathed and was among the best on field for the Wests Tigers.

Sharks: Just one change to the group who earned Cronulla their first ever NRLW win last week and it's a forced one, with Rhiannon Byers (wrist) replaced by Tegan Dymock on the interchange. Harata Butler is named to start in the front row this week after being promoted to the starting side prior to kick off against the Raiders.

A blockbuster Round 2 of NRLW action awaits this weekend including on Sunday, July 30, with a double-header at Belmore Sports Ground. The Cowboys clash against Newcastle before Wests Tigers take on Cronulla. Get your tickets at NRL.com/tickets.
