Cowboys: Tiana Raftstrand-Smith (head knock) returns on the interchange bench alongside Bree Chester, which shifts Jess Reeves and Essay Banu to the reserves in the only two changes for coach Ben Jeffries after the side beat Wests Tigers in Brisbane. Tallisha Harden has been included in the run-on side after failing to finish last week due to a knee concern.

Sharks: Plenty of changes made by Tony Herman in reaction to last week's loss to the Roosters. Jada Taylor has been named to return from an ankle injury which shifts Emma Tonegato back into the halves and Maddie Studdon to the reserves. Kiana Takairangi has been dropped with Georgia Ravics coming onto the wing for an NRLW debut. Chloe Saunders starts at lock with Brooke Anderson to come off the bench while Harata Butler took a $400 fine over a one-match ban for a hip-drop tackle and has been included in the 17.

Titans: A couple of forced changes for the home side. Jaime Chapman has been ruled out, along with young forward Rilee Jorgensen after the pair suffered head knocks in the side's loss to Newcastle. Destiny Mino-Sinapati replaces Chapman in the centres and Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell is the new face on the bench. In a boost, Lauren Brown has been named after leaving the field for a HIA with the Jillaroos hooker on track to play.

Roosters: An unchanged squad for John Strange with Mya Hill-Moana remaining in the reserves after missing the past fortnight due to a head knock suffered in Round 2. Jayme Fressard (shoulder) has been named despite a small issue during last Sunday's win over the Sharks.

Knights: Caitlan Johnston returns from a one-match ban in a boost for the premiers, who are otherwise unchanged. Johnston's replacement last week, debutant Felila Kia, moves back to the reserves. Rima Butler (head knock) has been named despite leaving the field last week after a clash of heads with Simone Karpani.

Broncos: Mixed news for Scott Prince's side with Brianna Clark and Jasmine Fogavini both out through suspension but in a triple boost, Gayle Broughton returns after missing last week's clash due to personal reasons, while Annetta Nu'uausala and Destiny Brill will also both return after head knocks kept them out in Round 4. Toni Hunt is the new face on the interchange.

Raiders: Elise Smith is in line for an NRLW debut after being named in the back-row which shifts Kerehitina Matua to the bench and Tara Reinke out of the 17. There are otherwise no further changes for the Green Machine, who are chasing four wins on the trot.

Eels: Confirmation Elsie Albert (calf) is out after reaggravating a leg injury with Madeline Jones stepping into the starting role at prop. Kyra Simon moves to lock with Nakia Davis-Welsh the new face on the bench. Rosemarie Beckett, who picked up a head knock a fortnight, has been listed in the reserves.
