All the late mail, team changes and news for Round 2 of the 2023 NRL Telstra Women's Premiership.
NRLW Late Mail: Round 2
Wests Tigers v Sharks, Sunday at Belmore Sports Ground
Wests Tigers: There are no late changes for the home side. 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: There are no further late changes after rookie flyer Jada Taylor dropped out of the squad in Saturday's 24-hour update due to an ankle injury suffered at training, so Andie Robinson moves from the wing to fullback and former Dragon Cassie Staples joins the squad on the flank. Rhiannon Byers (wrist) is out for the remainder of the season and is replaced by Tegan Dymock on the interchange.
