The Wests Tigers website, weststigers.com.au, has reported that the team is returning from a two-game road trip to face the St George-Illawarra Dragons on Saturday afternoon at CommBank Stadium.

Botille Vette-Welsh, who had been sidelined due to Head Injury Assessment (HIA) protocols, is back in action at fullback.

Pauline Piliae-Rasabale has also returned and will be playing in the halves.

Another player making a comeback is Losana Lutu, who was previously withdrawn from the Cowboys' match due to a knee injury but has now been named on the interchange.

In addition, 20-year-old Salma Nour is set to make her NRLW debut in the No.17 jersey, as announced by coach Brett Kimmorley.

Nour, who specializes in the dummy-half position, joined Wests Tigers after three successful seasons with the Illawarra Steelers in the Tarsha Gale competition.

She was recognized as the club's Player of the Year in 2022.

Furthermore, co-captain Kezie Apps will be facing her former team, the Dragons, for the first time since playing for them in the inaugural NRLW season in 2018.
