Cowboys NRLW team list: Round 7 v Dragons

Try-scoring debutant Libby Surha has been ruled out for the season after suffering a dislocated shoulder in her impressive maiden NRLW appearance last weekend.

Tiana Raftstrand-Smith moves from lock to second-row to replace Surha for the showdown against the Dragons at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

China Polata shifts from prop to lock. After beginning the season on the wing, Polata has been moved to middle forward on a permanent basis to finish the 2023 campaign.

The remainder of Ben Jeffries’ 17 is unchanged from last weekend’s tight loss to Parramatta.

The match is part of a historic NRLW double header, with the Broncos to meet the Sharks at 12.50pm, followed by the Cowboys and Dragons fixture at 3.10pm
