Last updated:

Knights: Just one change to the 17 who took the field last week, with Makenzie Weale named on the bench at the expense of Caitlin Moran, who is the replacement player. But that was also the case last week, before coach Ronald Griffiths made a late switch to include Moran on his bench, and there is a good chance that happens again come Sunday. 

Eels: Star centre Tiana Penitani has been included in the extended reserves as she battles to overcome a quad injury in time to take the field. At this stage Abbi Church is named to play in the centres in her place, as was the case last week. Parramatta are otherwise unchanged, with Kennedy Cherrington and Brooke Anderson named to start at prop and hooker respectively, after being named on the bench in recent weeks only to be late inclusions in the run-on side.
