last week’s shock debut,<\/a>\u00a0with 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.\u00a0<\/p>\nTitans:\u00a0Georgia 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cowboys v Sharks, Saturday 4.15pm at Queensland Country Bank Stadium<\/p>\n
Cowboys:\u00a0A 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.<\/p>\n
Sharks:\u00a0Georgia 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Official team lists, updates and injury news for Week 1 of the 2025 NRLW Telstra Premiership Finals.
