The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line-up for our NRLW round 1 season opener against the New Zealand Warriors at Allianz Stadium.

Fresh off a strong trial performance against the Sharks, the Roosters are out to pick up where they left off in last year’s Premiership run.

Corban Baxter and Shawden Burton make their awaited return from long-term injuries. Rima Butler and Macie Carlile will run out for their first game in the Tricolours.

Elevated to the Roosters' Top 24 squad after a standout 2024 season with the Central Coast Roosters, Taneisha Gray is set to make her NRLW debut.

Tarryn Aiken is unavailable for selection this week as she continues her recovery from an AC joint injury.

Kids tickets are ONLY $5 - perfect for families these school holidays.
