NRLW Team Lists: Finals Week 1
Knights v Titans, Saturday 2.30pm at McDonald Jones Stadium
Knights: Mixed news for the Knights as they prepare to host Gold Coast on Saturday afternoon. Star fullback Bo Vette-Welsh will return to the side, with Lilly-Ann White shifting to the reserves as a result. Winger Mercedez Taulelei-Siala and prop Simone Karpani have both been ruled out after suffering head knocks last week. Keighley Simpson will start on the wing after last week's shock debut, with Tiana Davison starting at prop in place of Karpani. Tayla Predebon has been named in the front row despite picking up a calf injury last Sunday.
Titans: Georgia Grey will line up in the centres for the first time since Round 2 as she makes her return from a concussion suffered in Round 10, having spent eight games on the wing. Grey replaces Estanoa Faitala-Mariner, who has been listed as 18th player. Lily-Rose Kolc has been named at hooker but could again swap with No.14 Brittany Breayley-Nati on gameday, as was the case last week. Jasmine Solia has been selected in the second-row after being cleared of a serious shoulder injury.
Cowboys v Sharks, Saturday 4.15pm at Queensland Country Bank Stadium
Cowboys: A big boost for North Queensland, with Jakiya Whitfeld set to return from a shoulder injury in Saturday afternoon. The fullback's return will see Krystal Blackwell shift to the wing and Ebony Rafstrand-Smith drop back to the reserves. Coach Ricky Henry has made a bold move by changing his halves for the sudden-death clash, with Tahlulah Tillett named to replace Rosie Kelly. China Polata also comes into the starting side after being 18th player last week, with Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell dropping back to the extended squad.
Sharks: Georgia Ravics has been named to return from a knee injury that forced her to withdraw from last week's loss to the Roosters. The winger replaces the suspended Dom Du Toit. Rhiannon Byers will also complete her comeback from a back injury and has been named on the interchange after acting as 18th player last week. Halfback Chantay Kiria-Ratu has been named in the No.7 jersey despite picking up a knee injury last Thursday.
