Both sides have plenty on the line in this match with the Eels needing to win, while the Roosters have the minor premiership on the line.

NRLW SportsBet Betting Preview - Eels v Roosters

Currently sitting just outside the top four before this final round, Parramatta will be hoping the Cowboys do them a favour and cut down the Knights on Saturday for them to be a chance to overtake them on the ladder. If not, the Eels would need a record-breaking win to be a chance of overcoming their poor for-and-against. 

After posting three wins on the trot, the Roosters have moved to the top of the ladder and will need a win to hold the challenging Broncos and Sharks at bay if they are to claim this year's minor premiership. Brisbane are the biggest threat as they are equal on 12 points and are only 10 behind in for-and-against. 

Team News

Eels: After holding on against the Raiders last round, the Eels have named an unchanged side for this must-win game. Parramatta sit just outside the top four and need a win to be a chance of playing semi-finals. Mia Middleton will serve as the replacement player. 

Roosters: John Strange's side will take the field as named on Tuesday, with Kiwi Ferns enforcer Mya Hill-Moana returning from concussion via the bench. Following the suspension of Eliza Lopamaua, Amber Hall is promoted to starting second row. Millie Elliott will also start after returning on the bench last week, with Pani Hopoate onto the interchange. Skipper Isabelle Kelly is good to go despite failing to finish last week with an ankle issue.
