The NRLW team list for Round 3 sees the Cronulla Sharks preparing for a match against the Cowboys at Sharks Stadium.

Following a dominant 56-6 win over the Raiders, coach Tony Herman has announced his squad, which includes a new debutante, Grace-Lee Weekes.

She will step in for the suspended Annessa Biddle, who received a one-game ban for a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle.

Weekes, a NSW under-19 representative in 2023, was previously a development player and has been elevated to the top 24 after an injury setback last year.

The Raiders aim to impress fans against the Eels, who lack star player Mitch Moses due to injury.

The Raiders, boasting a strong 6-1 record at GIO Stadium in 2025, aim to impress their fans against the Eels this Saturday.

The match, set for a 3:00 PM kick-off, is expected to favor Ricky Stuart's team, allowing their dynamic playing style to thrive in the afternoon sun rather than in the colder, slippery night conditions.

Meanwhile, the Eels, coached by Jason Ryles, have shown moments of brilliance throughout the season but struggle to compete with the league's top teams, especially without their star player, Mitch Moses, who is sidelined due to injury.

To have a chance at an upset, the Eels would need to replicate their strong first-half performance against the Panthers last weekend, maintaining that level of play for the entire 80 minutes.
