Eels: Steve Georgallis has named an unchanged starting line-up for this week's match against the Knights. The only change to the overall team that beat Wests Tigers last week sees prop Tyla Amiatu returning from illness via the bench, pushing Breanna Eales, who is in jersey 19, to replacement player duties.
Knights: Muswellbrook Rams junior Evie Jones will make her NRLW debut for her local club the Knights, filling in the boots left by halfback Jesse Southwell who is out of this game after suffering a head knock in last week's loss to the Sharks. Jones does have experience in big games as a past Australian Schoolgirls and NSW at Under 19 Origin representative. Other changes to this week's team sees prop Tayla Predebon named to start, with Rima Butler moving on to the bench. Winger Sheridan Gallagher has been named as 18th player and could make a late return in the starting side.

Titans: Niall Williams-Guthrie is set to return from a hamstring complaint at centre, meaning Taliah Fuimaono will move back into the five-eighth position in place of last week's debutant Lailani Montgomery. In good signs for the Gold Coast, Sienna Lofipo has been named as 18th player as she returns from a knee injury, with Zara Canfield - who has been sidelined with a fractured thumb - also named in the extended reserves.
Roosters: The forward pack has undergone another shuffle with wrecking ball Amber Hall moving into the second row to start the game with Otesa Pule onto the bench. Tiana Davison comes in at lock in place of Aliyah Nasio who is in the reserves, with Samantha Economos - who was 18th player in the win over the Dragons - coming onto the bench. Shannon Rose has been named as the new replacement player. Jocelyn Kelleher - who made a late switch the the halves last week - will start at five-eighth, while centre Jess Sergis remains sidelined with a knee injury.

Wests Tigers: New signing Montana Clifford comes straight into the starting side in the second row for this must-win game. The Panthers junior has been added to the squad as a replacement player following the recent season-ending injuries to Kezie Apps and Harmony Crichton. Brett Kimmorley has also made further changes to the side looking to earn their first win, with Tiana-Lee Thorne moving onto the wing and Ebony Prior coming onto the bench in her return from a calf injury. Shaianne McGlone moves to 18th player, with Jessica Kennedy and Tess Staines into the reserves.
Broncos: A shoulder injury to Jasmine Fogavini will see Keilee Joseph move back into the lock position, with Brianna Clark slotting back into the starting side as prop after serving two-match suspension for a shoulder charge. There are no other changes to the the side who defeated the Raiders in a close game last week and are looking for three wins in a row.

Dragons: In good news for the club, both Tyla King and Raecene McGregor have been named to take their place in the halves after both were pulled from the field late in the game last for HIAs. Bobbi Law is also named in the centres after she also came off the field for a HIA in the last match. All three passed and are right to go for the game. Coach Jamie Soward has made a number of other changes in the lead-up to the match against the undefeated Sharks, with Zali Hopkins to start at hooker, with Kasey Reh moving to the bench. Maria Paseka comes onto the wing for her NRLW debut in place of Kimberley Hunt, with Steph Hancock back on the bench moving Bronte Wilson to the reserves.
Sharks: Rhiannon Byers comes into the second row for the injured Talei Holmes this week in the only change to the side that beat the Knights last week. In good news for the club, scans have cleared Holmes of a serious neck injury after she was stretchered off in Sunday's match. Prop Filomina Hanisi, who is yet to make an appearance this year, has been named in 18. New signing rugby sevens convert Dominique du Toit is on the extended interchange after joining the club on Tuesday.
