Wests Tigers Harvey Norman NSW Women’s Premiership Coach Neil Stanley has named his squad for the Round 15 clash against South Sydney Rabbitohs at Lidcombe Oval.
Youngster Jessica Whelan has been handed the opportunity to start at fullback with captain Botille Vette-Welsh missing for the final game of the regular season due to State of Origin commitments.
Halfback Emily Curtain will take over the captaincy for the clash at Lidcombe Oval, as she partners five-eighth Shekinah Edwards in the halves.
A win on Saturday afternoon will confirm Wests Tigers a place in the top four and puts the side in good stead ahead of the finals.
