Sharks: With Rhiannon Byers (pectoral) and prop Jacinta Carter (concussion) sidelined, Jaydika Tafua has been elevated to start in the second row with Steph Faulkner at prop while Tyla King and Anne-Marie Kiria-Ratu join the bench. Annessa Biddle comes back into the centres in her return from suspension. Manilita Takapautolo moves from the bench to the starting side. No further changes on game day with Grace-Lee Weekes is 18th player.

Wests Tigers: The Tigers are 1-17 with no late changes. Coach Brett Kimmorley adjusted his spine as his side chase their first win of the season. Last week's debutant Faythe Manera has been named at five-eighth and will partner Losana Lutu in the halves, while Pihuka Berryman-Duff is back in the No.9 jersey. Salma Nour reverts to the interchange as a result. Jessikah Reeves has been named on the bench in her return from a head knock.
