The Sydney Roosters are set to face off against the Wests Tigers in the NRLW for the first time in history.
The Roosters will be playing at their home ground, Allianz Stadium, where they will be looking to extend their impressive winning streak to four games.
This match marks a significant moment for both teams, as they have previously met in the Harvey Norman Women's Premiership Pathways competition.

Corban Baxter will take on the fullback role, with Brydie Parker and Wood on the wings.
Isabelle Kelly and Jessica Sergis will form a strong partnership in the centres.
In the halves, Tarryn Aiken and Jocelyn Kelleher will continue their combination, while Millie Boyle, Keeley Davis, and Mya Hill-Moana will provide stability in the front row.
Overall, this match between the Roosters and Tigers is set to be an exciting clash, with both teams looking to make their mark in the NRLW competition.
