Broncos: Minor premiers the Broncos have named an unchanged line-up for their knock-out final against the Sharks, with skipper Ali Brigginshaw right to go after playing down a reported sternum injury. Goal-kicking second rower Romy Teitzel has also been named to start, despite not being able to finish the second half of the win over the Dragons after an injury that initially thought to be a nerve issue in her back and hip. Tazmin Rapana is in the extended reserves if Teitzel is later ruled out.

Sharks: Tongan international Tegan Dymock has been named to start at prop in place of the suspended Holli Wheeler for this week's semi-final match. Her elevation from the bench brings Chloe Saunders into the 17. Rhiannon Byers and Brooke Anderson have both been named to start, despite suffering game-ending injuries last Thursday night's loss to Wests Tigers. Byers was assisted from the field with a knee injury, while Anderson underwent a HIA late in the match after sustaining a hit which also impacted her jaw. Rugby converts Sharni Smale and Dominique du Toit are amongst the extended reserves while the experienced Nakia Davis-Welsh has again been named as the replacement player in 19.

Roosters: Roosters coach John Strange has tweaked his interchange with Samantha Economos named on the bench, moving Mya Hill-Moana to 18th player duties. There are no other changes to the side that beat the Eels, with skipper Isabelle Kelly also named to start in the centres despite an injury scare last week. However, superstars Tarryn Aiken and Jess Sergis loom in the extended reserves, with Strange telling media after their Round 9 match that both were "day-by-day" prospects to play.

Knights: Some big injury returns listed by Ben Jeffries this week for the blockbuster clash against the Roosters with prop Rima Butler named to return from a knee injury and will start, pushing Tayla Predebon to the bench. Nita Maynard has also been named to make her comeback from an ankle injury via the interchange, moving Evie Jones to 18th player with last week's debutant Evah McEwen dropping to the extended reserves.
