In this weekend's NRLW Round 6 clash between Wests Tigers and Sydney Roosters, the Wests Tigers will be making their way across town to Allianz Stadium.
According to a report on the Wests Tigers website, 21-year-old outside back Tess Staines will be making her NRLW club debut after recovering from a thumb fracture she sustained during the team's pre-season trial against the Sharks.
Staines has been named on the interchange and will be eager to make an impact on the field.
In other team news, Imogen Gobran has been moved onto the bench from the reserves, while Salma Nour and Taylor Osborne have been shifted to the extended bench.
This suggests that coach John Strange is looking to inject some fresh legs and versatility into the team as they take on the Roosters.
On the Roosters' side, winger Jayme Fressard will be unavailable for the match due to a concussion.
This has created an opportunity for Mia Wood to make her NRLW debut.
Coach Strange has made some changes to the starting and bench forward packs in light of Fressard's absence, indicating that he is looking to maintain a strong and balanced team composition.
As both teams prepare to face off at Allianz Stadium, it will be interesting to see how the Wests Tigers' new addition, Tess Staines, performs in her debut match.
With the Roosters making adjustments to their line-up as well, this clash promises to be an exciting and closely contested game.
