All the scores, highlights, injuries, judiciary news and details from Round 6 of the 2023 NRL Telstra Women's Premiership.
Sharks centre Annessa Biddle and Wests Tigers forward Sarah Togatuki will miss Round 7 after being handed one-game suspensions.
Biddle was hit with a Grade 2 Dangerous Contact charge on Knights fullback Tamika Upton after being sin-binned for a hip-drop tackle.
She will miss her side's clash with the Broncos on Saturday.
Togatuki will miss the upcoming clash against the Titans after accepting a one-match ban for a Dangerous Contact charge.
Sharks forward Vanessa Foliaki was charged with a Grade 1 Dangerous Throw on Newcastle's Jasmin Strange but given it was her second and subsequent offence in this category she attracted a penalty over a warning.
While the charge attracts a one-match ban, Rule 39A, which has been applied to her charge, states a player can elect to pay a fine of $400 instead of a one-match suspension upon entering a plea of guilty.
The same applies for Titans vice-captain Brittany Breayley-Nati, who entered an early guilty plea to a Crusher Tackle charge following her side's win against the Dragons on Saturday.
Breayley-Nati was fined $400 which was subsequently reduced to $200 under Rule 42A, which states that a player is eligible for a 50%discount for playing in the NRLW Competition for at least three years without committing an offence.
Knights forward Laishon Albert-Jones accepted a Warning for a high tackle on Cronulla fullback Jada Taylor.
