Roosters: Corban Baxter is set for her first game since Round 7 after recovering from an ankle injury and will step straight into the halves in place of Tarryn Aiken (ACL). Baxter will start at five-eighth, with Jocelyn Kelleher shifting to halfback for her 50th NRLW game. Taina Naividi is set to play her first game in the back row this season after Aliyah Nasio was suspended. Mia Wood returns to the wing as a result.

Sharks: Star duo Quincy Dodd (ankle) and Annessa Biddle (elbow) are pushing to return from lengthy lay-offs with coach Tony Herman rating them "above a 50 per chance of playing". The pair remain in the extended squad and their return would provide a major boost for Cronulla. Biddle will likely slot straight into the centres, however Georgia Hannaway's form at hooker could see Dodd take on a bench utility role if she comes into the side.

Broncos: Young gun Destiny Brill is on track to return from a calf injury suffered in Round 9, with the hooker set to start the game on the interchange on Sunday afternoon. The Broncos are well rested after last week's bye with Hayley Maddick returning to the wing after coming off the bench in Round 11.

Knights: Simone Karpani is set to make her return from a head knock as the Knights look to build on last week's semi-final win over the Titans. Karpani's inclusion is the only change for a Newcastle side desperate to knock off the Broncos.
