Highlights Latest

Sunday afternoon’s match will be the first meeting between the two sides, who have both impressed in their opening two matches.

Brett Kimmorley has named an unchanged lineup from last weekend’s 10-0 victory over the Cronulla Sharks, which placed his side atop the competition ladder.

Jakiya Whitfield has again been named on the wing after accumulating a mountainous 292 metres against Cronulla, the second-highest tally ever recorded in the NRLW.

Wests Tigers have conceded just eight points across the first two rounds, but will face a tough test against the same Canberra side who ran in four tries against the Sydney Roosters on Sunday.
