Raecene McGregor holds the statistical advantage over Zahara Temara before the Wests Tigers host Canberra at Leichhardt Oval on Friday night.
McGregor has scored 77 points and kicked for 2,403 metres in her first Tigers season, while Temara has 41 points and 1,812 metres.
Both halfbacks have played since 2018, with three-time premiership winner McGregor facing New Zealand and Queensland representative Temara.
Canberra sits sixth after losing to Parramatta by one point, but has secured its first NRLW finals appearance.
The fourth-placed Tigers also have finals guaranteed after being beaten 58-0 by the Titans, making a strong response important.
Simaima Taufa is unavailable after her suspension, so Hollie-Mae Dodd moves to lock, Lili Boyle joins the bench and Ellie Brander becomes the 18th player.
Caitlin Turnbull and Rikeya Horne return for the Tigers, while Christian Pio starts at prop amid further interchange and reserve changes.
"We are so grateful, and we have alot still in us to push through … we've been doing so well, and it gives us that extra push to keep going, lock in and keep grinding"
