Manzelmann has been appointed as captain of the Cowboys, making her the second youngest in the club's history at 23 years and 217 days, following current co-captain Tom Dearden and Cowboys legend Johnathan Thurston.
As the Cowboys' inaugural NRLW signing, she has played in all 18 games since the team's 2023 season debut and was recognized as Player of the Year for that season.
Co-captain Dibb, now in her third season, is celebrated as one of the NRL's best game managers.
Dibb's former co-captain, Tallisha Harden, will step back from the captaincy this season, in line with a succession plan set forth by NRLW Head Coach Ricky Henry.
