Millie Elliott will reach a major NRLW milestone on Saturday night and there couldn't be a better stage for her 50th game than a sudden-death semi-final.
The Roosters star will bring up her half-century against the Raiders, marking seven seasons in the NRLW and a career that already includes four premierships, 12 NSW appearances and four Australian caps.
And with Elliott having announced she will retire at the end of the season, her 50th NRLW game could be one of the final chapters of a career that has helped shape the women's game.

Raiders' radical play for superstar... but fan favourite set to exit - Whispers
The Raiders offered Hudson Young a four-year, $4.4 million deal to deter interest from the PNG Chiefs.
Fox League
The Raiders have upped the ante in their bid to keep Hudson Young in the nation's capital, with Canberra set to add another year to their initial big-money offer.
The club have already tabled a three-year, $3.3 million deal to Young to keep him from joining the PNG Chiefs in 2028 but according to the SMH, that offer has reportedly increased to $4.4 million over four years.
Young is current holidaying and will meet with the Raiders next week to discuss the increased offer.
If he accepts Canberra's bumper deal, Young will be locked down at the Raiders until the end of 2031.
The Raiders are hoping it's enough to stave off the Chiefs' interest.

New club joins race for Tom Starling's signature
Tom Starling attracts interest from a second club amid potential Manly Sea Eagles move, complicated by salary cap issues.
Zero Tackle
Tom Starling's future has taken another turn, with the out-of-favour hooker now attracting interest from a second club after previously being linked with a move to the Manly Sea Eagles.
Starling was heavily linked with a potential switch to Manly for next season, with a player swap floated as a possible avenue for the Sea Eagles to secure his services.
However, Manly's pursuit has been complicated by their salary cap position, with the club needing to either create sufficient room to accommodate Starling or identify an equal player who could be included in a swap deal.
The Sea Eagles' interest stems from a belief that Starling still has plenty to offer at NRL level, despite his reduced role in the nation's capital this season.
