Canberra Raiders coach Darrin Borthwick has called on Women's State of Origin to shift later in the year and get played during the NRLW season.

Borthwick said losing key players during the pre-season came at the worst possible time as the Green Machine prepared for their second campaign.

Both the Raiders' Origin stars - Grace Kemp and Sophie Holyman - will play their pre-season trial against Newcastle at Wagga Wagga on Saturday, with England international Hollie Mae-Dodd making her return from a knee reconstruction.

Canberra Raiders NRLW duo Queensland's Sophie Holyman and NSW forward Grace Kemp have the opportunity to do something no-one has ever done before.

On Thursday in Townsville the pair will run out in the first-ever Women's State of Origin decider, and for Holyman the chance to play is extra special after being dropped in game two by the Maroons.

"I'm super excited to be back on the field with the girls and have the opportunity to play in a match that's creating history," Holyman told The Canberra Times.
