NRLW Team Lists: Round 5

Broncos: Queensland representative Emily Bass returns to the wing with Shakiah Tungai moving back to the reserves. Jada Ferguson will start at hooker with Lavinia Gould succumbing to a calf injury. Amy Turner is the new face on the bench while starting forwards Chelsea Lenarduzzi (high shot) and Annetta Nu'uausala (dangerous contact) both received official warnings last week but will be free to take on the Eels.

Eels: Dean Widders has named an unchanged squad after the side almost got the result against the Titans last week. Kennedy Cherrington accepted a $400 fine for dangerous contact on Lauren Brown and is free to play while Simaima Taufa received an official warning for contact on Karina Brown and is available. Cherrington was promoted to the starting line-up last start and could potentially do so again against the Broncos.

Titans v Roosters, Sunday 1:55pm at Central Coast Stadium, Gosford

Titans: Karyn Murphy will stick with the same squad who got the job done against the Eels last week with Evania Pelite remaining at fullback and Apii Nicholls staying in the centres. 

Roosters: A raft of changes for the competition leaders with the minor premiership all but secured. Teenage young gun Jada Taylor will make her NRLW debut with regular No.1 Sam Bremner rested for the clash. Taylor will be joined by another debutante, Central Coast Roosters teammate Shannon Rose, in the backline with Jasmin Strange dropping to the reserves. Jayme Fressard (leg infection) returns to the wing with Leianne Tufuga being rested for this week. Sarah Togatuki and Shaniah Power return to the forward pack with another debutante, North Sydney Angelina Teakaraanga-Katoa, added to the bench.

Dragons v Knights, Sunday 3:45pm at Central Coast Stadium, Gosford

Dragons: The Red V have reverted back to their 1-22 but are likely to have late changes as per previous weeks. Talei Holmes (knee) is likely to drop out again while Zali Hopkins could come into the line-up again after a successful NRLW debut. Tara McGrath-West earns a start after racking up over 200 metres last week.

Knights: Tamika Upton has been named to return after missing last week's loss to the Roosters due to a calf injury. Shanice Parker moves back to the centres after replacing Upton at fullback while Emma Paki retains her spot with Bobbi Law (hip) listed in the reserves. Development player Kayla Romaniuk is the new face on the bench in place of Caitlin Moran while Jessica Gentle is part of the extended squad.
