Roosters: A few changes in the forwards for John Strange after last week's record win. Rima Butler returns via the bench after sitting out last week with the NRL's concussion protocols, shifting Taneisha Gray to 18th player. Millie Elliott has again be named to start at prop like she was last week, moving Aliyah Nasio back to the bench despite a late switch last week.

Sharks: Mixed news for the Sharks who welcome back Origin representive Georgia Hannaway in the halves, where she will partner with halfback Chantay Kiria-Ratu, who returned last week. Madison Ashby shifts back to the centres to make way for her return, moving Cassie Staples back to the wing with Marewa Samson going to the reserves. However, they will be missing Ellie Johnston due to suspension. Caitlan Johnston-Green comes from the bench to start at prop, where she will be paired with Manilita Takapautolo. Ann-Marie Ratu goes to lock where she was originally named last week. Other changes see Talei Holmes start in the second row after making a successful return last week, set to play her second game after having a baby.

Cowboys: No changes to the 1-17 who held on for a thrilling win over the Dragons last week. Charlize Lloyd-Phillips - who produced club history as the first player to score an NRLW hat-trick - remains on the wing. The only change sees Kayla Jackson named as 18th player in place of Emily Veivers.

Knights: A few swaps for the Knights after their comeback fell just short against Wests Tigers last week. Lilly-Ann White has been named at fullback, shifting Lucy Spain to the bench despite a late switch last week. Other changes see Fane Finau promoted from 18th player to start in the second row, swapping roles with Jules Kirkpatrick.

Warriors: A few forced changes for the Warriors with a third fullback in as many weeks named after injuries to Apii Nicholls and Emmanita Paki. Anastasia Sekene makes her injury return for her debut in the number 1 jersey, with Nicholls named as 18th player as she attempts to overcome a hand injury. Try scorer Lavinia Tauhalaliku returns on the wing, moving Payton Takimoana to the reserves. In the forwards, Matekino Gray has also been named in her injury return, starting at prop. This moves Metanoia Fetalaiga to the reserves, where she is joined by Mya Hill-Moana, with Ashlee Matapo elevated to the bench. One more change sees stand-in captain Kaiyah Atai start in the second row, swapping with Maarire Puketapu, who will shift to lock.

Dragons: No Shenae Ciesiolka this week, so Tyra Ekepati comes from the bench to start at centre. With Nita Maynard-Perrin out with a dislocated elbow, skipper Brooke Anderson shifts back to hooker, with Hannah Southwell moving back to lock. The new prop is Amelia Haukua, while the new face on the bench is Seriah Palepale who is in line for her NRLW debut. Samoa half Taliah Fuimaono, who has been battling a shoulder injury, is listed in the reserves.

Eels: No changes to the winning side from last week's victory over the Sharks. In a promising sign however, representative forward Kennedy Cherrington has been named as 18th player as she pushes to return to action after suffering a facial fracture.

Broncos: A massive boost for the Broncos who are looking to prevent falling in four straight losses with the return of five-eighth Ali Brigginshaw from suspension. She will partner Jesse Southwell in the halves, shifting Georgia Bartlett back to the centres. Julia Robinson shifts to the wing, with Caitlin Urwin reverting to 18th player. Other changes see Reegan Hicks promoted to prop, with Lillian Yarrow shifting to lock. Destiny Brill is out after injuring her calf last week, with Bree Spreadborough moving to the bench.

Wests Tigers: A few shuffles for the side after posting a thrilling one-point win off the boot of Raecene McGregor last week. Shenai Lendill has again been named to start at centre, moving last week's late call-up Kayla Henderson to the reserves. Other changes see Shaniece Monschau come from the bench to start at prop, moving Christian Pio to the interchange. Tara Reinke is the new face on the bench. Centre Rikeya Horne has been named in the extended squad but at this stage is unlikely to play.

Bulldogs: A stable line-up for the Bulldogs as they prepare for the battle of the Western Sydney. Young gun Evelyn Roberts returns to the bench, shifting Ebony Prior to the reserves. The only other change sees Monica Tagoai come in as 18th player.
