Raiders: Rep winger Shakiah Tungai comes in for Alanna Dummett (head knock) in the only change from Round 1. The former Jillaroos, Blues and Indigenous All Stars back played nine games for the Raiders last year and scored four tries.

Knights: Youngster Lilly-Ann White makes her NRLW debut on the wing with Isabella Waterman moving to the bench. White recently played as fullback for the triumphant NSW Under 19 side.

Titans: With Karina Brown suffering a calf injury in the win over the Dragons, Rugby Sevens convert Georgia Grey has been called up to make her NRLW debut on the wing. Rilee Jorgensen moves into the starting second row in place of Zara Canfield (thumb). Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell is the other new face on the bench.

Wests Tigers: No changes to the side that lost to the Raiders with coach Brett Kimmorley hoping for a fast start after they gave up a 28-6 lead by half-time in Round 1. Experienced backs Rikeya Horne and Botille Vette-Welsh scored the tries and will look to make their mark again.

Eels: Taneka Todhunter comes into the starting side as hooker with Rueben Cherrington (syndesmosis) ruled out for the season. Other changes see Chloe Jackson into the second row for her NRLW debut in place of Boss Kapua (knee), who is also out for the season. Rosemarie Beckett, who was 18th player last week, comes onto the bench.

Sharks: The Sharks are unchanged after a sensational defensive effort to keep the Cowboys scoreless in Round 1 - the first time they had kept a team to zero in their short history in the competition.

Roosters: Out of retirement and into the starting side, Sam Bremner will play fullback this week with Jayme Fressard going to the wing and Taina Naividi dropping to the reserves. Captain Isabelle Kelly remains in the five-eighth role alongside Tarryn Aiken. Prop Amber Hall could be a late inclusion to return from an ankle injury after being named in the reserves.

Broncos: Suspensions to prop Annetta-Claudia Nu'uausala and Lavinia Gould have forced Scott Prince into a number of changes. Destiny Brill returns from a calf injury on the bench, alongside Bridget Hoy on NRLW debut. Keilee Joseph will move into prop, with Mariah Denman into lock. Maroons centre Shenae Ciesiolka remains sidelined with a hand injury suffered in Origin Three but has been training with strapping on her hand and looks to be nearing a return.

Cowboys: Ebony Raftstrand-Smith makes her NRLW debut and will join sister Tiana in Cowboys colours. Ebony featured for Queensland in the Under 19 Origin match and comes into the side in place of Vitalina Naikore. With Mackenzie Weale sidelined after failing a HIA last week, Essay Banu will start at prop. Shaniah Power makes her comeback via the bench after a leg injury derailed her 2023 season while PNG Orchids star Sareka Mooka plays her first game of the year also on the interchange.

Dragons: New recruit Kimberley Hunt will make her first appearance in Dragons colours after being brought in on the wing in place of Maatuleio Fotu-Moala. Coach Jamie Soward has again named veteran forward Steph Hancock on the bench with Jamilee Bright to start but as they did in Round 1 a game day swap could be on the cards. Back-rower Ella Koster won't play this week but is nearing a return from a shoulder injury suffered in the trials.
