Wests Tigers will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to the Raiders as they prepare to face the North Queensland Cowboys this Saturday in Brisbane.

Unfortunately, co-captain Botille Vette-Welsh will be unavailable for the clash due to a head knock he sustained against the Raiders, and he is currently following the Head Injury Assessment (HIA) protocols.

Coach Kimmorley has made some changes to the lineup, moving Pauline Piliae-Rasabale to fullback and pairing her with the skillful playmaker Losana Lutu in the halves.

This will be the first time these two young stars have played together since leading Wests Tigers to their inaugural premiership in the 2022 Harvey Norman Women's competition.

In addition, Imogen Gobran, a talented prop and Balmain junior, is set to make her NRLW debut.

This opportunity arises as Folau Vaki, who suffered a knee injury in the warm-up last weekend, moves to the reserves.

Gobran, who progressed through all of Wests Tigers' female pathway teams, has been named on the bench for this upcoming match.
