The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for Saturday afternoon's Round 2 NRLW match against the Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.

In their first match at Suncorp Stadium, the Red, White and Blue will face off against the Broncos for the first time since their famous semi-final victory at Leichhardt Oval which propelled them into the 2021 NRLW Grand Final.

It will also mark the eighth meeting between the Roosters and Broncos since the inaugural NRLW season, which includes the 2018 and 2020 Grand Final battles, as well as the aforementioned 2021 semi-final triumph.

After a convincing 38-16 win to open the 2022 season against Parramatta, John Strange's side has remained intact as they look to extend their winning run to four consecutive victories carrying over from last season.

Veteran Sam Bremner returns to the line up after a stellar performance in her first match in Red, White and Blue, joined by Leianne Tufuga, Jessica Sergis, Captain Isabelle Kelly, and new recruit Jayme Fressard in the backline.

Halves Zahara Temara and Raecene McGregor continue their strong partnership in the no.6 and no.7 jerseys respectively, while Sarah Togatuki, Destiny Brill and Mya Hill-Moana line up in the front row.

Shaniah Power retains her spot on the left edge joined by fellow tryscorer Olivia Kernick in the back row, while Keilee Joseph has been named in the no.13 jersey in her second career start.

The interchange bench features Jocelyn Kelleher, Shawden Burton, Kalosipani Hopoate and Otesa Pule, with Joeli Morris, Samantha Economos, Angelina Teakaraanga-Katoa, Shannon Rose and Jada Taylor on the extended bench.
