Wests Tigers NRLW Coach Brett Kimmorley has announced his 22-player squad for their upcoming Round 7 match against the Gold Coast Titans.
The team list was revealed on the official Wests Tigers website, weststigers.com.au, and includes some notable changes to the lineup.
One of the key changes is in the halves, where Brooke Talataina will step in to fill the void left by injured players Emily Curtain and Losana Lutu.
Talataina, who is a development player for the Wests Tigers NRLW team, will have the opportunity to showcase her skills in this important match.
Another exciting addition to the squad is 18-year-old prop Bianca Bennetts, who will be making her NRLW debut.
Bennetts, who hails from Campbelltown, has impressed the coaching staff with her talent and potential, earning her a spot in the team for this crucial game.
In terms of positional changes, Botille Vette-Welsh will move to fullback, while Tess Staines will shift to the wing.
This adjustment was made after Staines recovered from a broken hand, allowing her to return to the field and contribute to the team's success.
Additionally, Imogen Gobran will be starting at prop in the absence of Sarah Togatuki, who is serving a suspension.
Gobran will have the opportunity to prove herself in this starting role and make a positive impact on the game.
Overall, Coach Kimmorley has carefully selected his squad for this upcoming match, taking into consideration both the strengths of the players and the specific challenges posed by the Gold Coast Titans.
The team will be looking to secure a victory and continue their successful season in the NRLW competition.
