Roosters: Jess Sergis is named to play after being a late withdrawal last week due to a hamstring concern. Joeli Morris, who came in to fill a gap in a revamped backline in Round 2, is the 18th player and on standby. With Mya Hill-Moana out after suffering a head knock in the loss to the Raiders, Teuila Fotu-Moala starts at prop and former Wallaroos and NSW Waratahs player Grace Hamilton – who has joined the squad as an injury replacement – comes in on the bench. Otesa Pule goes back to the interchange after starting last week, with Amelia Pasikala named to start in the back row. There is no room for Kalosipani Hopoate, with the powerful forward listed in the extended reserves. 

Dragons: Renee Targett is out of the squad after starting the first two games at hooker, with Kaarla Cowan the new No.9 after coming off the bench last week. Sophie Clancy is the new face on the bench and will make her NRLW debut. Margot Vella and Cortez Te Pou remain the first-choice wingers for coach Jamie Soward after both scoring doubles last week.

Cowboys: After a false start last week due to a knee complaint, Autumn-Rain Stephens Daly is named to make her first appearance of 2023 on the wing, which sees Jetaya Faifua drop out of the 17 altogether after starting in the front row last week. China Polata is named on the bench after being used as a winger in Round 1 and at Origin level this year. 

Broncos: Toni Hunt is the new winger, replacing Jasmine Fogavini who instead is named on the bench.

Last updated:

Sharks: Jada Taylor (ankle) is included in the reserves, so for now Andie Robinson is again the fullback and Cassie Staples named on the wing. Emma Tonegato has been named at five-eighth despite a calf injury last week. In the absence of Harata Butler, who was charged with Dangerous Contact in Sunday's loss to the Wests Tigers, Chloe Saunders starts at prop and Fiona Jahnke joins the 17 on the bench. Holli Wheeler has been included in the reserves as she looks to make her way back from a knee injury.

Titans: After a strong NRLW debut last week Rilee Jorgensen moves back to the bench to accommodate the return of Zara Canfield in the second row. Kaitlyn Phillips is the player to make way and reverts to be the 18th woman. Lauren Brown is named to start at hooker but could drop back to the bench in a swap with Brittany Breayley-Nati prior to kick-off, which was the case last week.

Eels: Star recruit Elsie Albert could make her club debut after being included in the extended reserves as she battles a calf injury which has kept her out of the opening two rounds. An otherwise unchanged line-up for coach Dean Widders as last year's beaten Grand Finalists seek their first win of 2023. Former Jillaroos player Nakia Davis-Welsh played 22 minutes off the bench in her return to action last week off the interchange. 

Knights: Co-captain Hannah Southwell is named to start at lock in her return from a ACL injury and is expected to play after being a late withdrawal from the squad last week. That means Kayla Romaniuk moves back to a new-look bench that includes Kiwi Fern Laishon Albert-Jones, who returns from a week out with concussion. English star Georgia Roche has been named to make her NRLW debut at five-eighth, with Caitlin Moran out. Tiana Davison and Viena Tinao drop off the bench.

Last updated:

Raiders: No changes for the Green Machine after last week's upset victory over the Roosters. Elise Smith is once again the replacement player. Centre Cheyelle Robins-Reti comes off an excellent performance on both sides of the ball, which included 198 run metres. 

Wests Tigers: Coach Brett Kimmorley has named the same 17 who got the job done last week against the Sharks, with Jessica Kennedy again listed as the 18th woman. There is no sign of winger Tess Staines in the extended reserves, as she continues to work her way back from finger surgery.
