Last updated:

Titans: A big out for the Titans on game day with star back Jaime Chapman ruled out with hamstring tightness. Debutant Lily Patston, orignally named on the wing, will play fullback while Jasmine Solia will shift from the bench to the wing. Queensland Under 19 representative Takoda Thompson is a late call-up to make her NRLW debut after joining the bench. The reshuffle comes after winger Destiny Mino-Sinapati (syndesmosis) was ruled out, with Taliah Fuimaono moving from five-eighth to hooker to cover for Brittany Breayley-Nati (fractured collarbone). Pauline Piliae-Rasabale is the new No.6 partnering with Lauren Brown in the halves. Canada Ravens rep Megan Pakulis makes her NRLW debut off the bench. Pakulis was one of the winners of the Las Vegas Combine in 2024, going on to play a season in the UK Super League before joining with the Titans this year.

Broncos: Only one change with highly regarded youngster Reegan Hicks coming onto the bench in place of Tafito Lafaele. Hicks, who can play second row and prop, recently co-captained the Queensland Under 19s. New Zealand rugby union convert Azalleyah Maaka has been named as 18th player. No changes on game day.
