Cowboys NRLW team list: Round 10 v Dragons

Star North Queensland Toyota Cowboys back Jakiya Whitfeld has been ruled out of Saturday’s game against the St George Illawarra Dragons in Wollongong.

Whitfeld suffered a shoulder injury in last weekend’s game against the Roosters, but is expected to return for the finals.

Whitfeld’s absence is offset by the return of gun centre Abigail Roache, who has missed the previous two games with a concussion.

Rosie Kelly returns at halfback, with Tahlulah Tillett rested.

Tiana Raftstrand-Smith holds her spot on the interchange after a successful NRLW season debut on the weekend.

Saturday’s game kicks off at 12.45pm
