NRLW Late Mail: Round 6 v Titans

No game-day changes for the Sharks ahead of their all-important Titans tussle at Ocean Protect Stadium later today.

Cronulla lost halfback Chantay Kiria-Ratu to an ankle injury this week, with former Rugby 7s star Madison Ashby stepping into the halves alongside Georgia Hannaway.

Ashby is more than up for the challenge; she played in the halves alongside Sharks hooker Quincy Dodd in the 2018 Tarsha Gale winning team and has been impressive at centre this season.

That pushes China Polata into the centres for Ashby, and Jaydika Tafua comes off the bench to take Polata's place in the backrow.

Sharks pregnancy replacement player and former Rugby 7s young gun Milla Elaro will make her debut on the wing, taking the place of Cassie Staples.

2025 Sharks Women's Premiership player of the year Koffi Brookfield is also in line to make her debut off the bench.

To celebrate Indigenous Round, players were presented with painted boots by a group of kids from the Cultural Choice Association’s Boots for Brighter Futures (BFBF) program.

Coach Tony Herman was even surprised with his own pair, and all the kids involved were given tickets to come along to today's match and take photos with their heroes after the game.

Gates open at 2:45pm for a 3:15pm kick-off at Ocean Protect Stadium later today.
