Dragons: The Dragons are 1-17 with no late changes on game day. Earlier, coach Nathan Cross shuffled his line-up following last week's loss to the Raiders, with skipper Brooke Anderson shifting from lock to hooker in place of Nita Maynard-Perrin (head knock). Hannah Southwell starts in No.13 while Ella Koster moves to start in the second row after coming from the bench last week. Veteran front-rower Amelia Huakau is in line for a club debut off the bench. Tahlia O’Brien is the 18th player.

Eels: No further changes an hour before kick-off after Fontayne Tufuga came on to the bench in place of Taneka Todhunter on Saturday. Young gun second-rower Ryvrr-Lee Alo has been named to start in place of Boss Kapua, who has been suspended for two matches for a careless high tackle. Khyliah Gray fills the vacant bench spot. Winger Martha Mataele has scored six tries in her last four NRLW games.
