NRLW Late Mail: Semi Finals

Roosters v Eels, Sunday at Suncorp Stadium

Roosters: No late changes for the defending premiers, as star fullback Samantha Bremner and halfback Raecene McGregor return after being rested last week. Jocelyn Kelleher reverts to the bench after playing in the halves against the Titans in Round 5. Leianne Tufuga returns to the wing in place of Shannon Rose and Mya Hill-Moana starts in the front row, which bumps Kalosipani Hopoate back to the bench.

Eels: Co-captain Tiana Penitani has dropped out with a quad injury and her place in the centres is taken by Abbi Church. Kennedy Cherrington and Brooke Anderson again start at prop and hooker respectively after originally being named on the interchange, which bumps Filomina Hanisi and Seli Mailangi back to the bench. Lock Simaima Taufa is good to go after picking up an ankle injury last week, while Rima Butler joins the interchange.
