The Roosters and Titans will meet for a place in the 2023 NRLW grand final on Sunday with both sides looking to make amends following disappointing finishes last year.
The Roosters took out last season's minor premiership but a shock loss to the Eels in sudden death left them stinging to ensure they don't let the finals cauldron get the better of them again this year.
Despite finishing second in the regular season, John Strange's side have led another dominant season in 2023 to earn themselves a historic home semi-final and will go into this one as favourites.
Meanwhile, the Titans might be less experienced on the finals front but will head to Moore Park full of confidence on the back of a 30-6 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Having gone down to the Dragons in their only other finals appearance back in 2021, the likes of Georgia Hale, Karina Brown, Evania Pelite and Brittany Breayley-Nati will be hungry to hand the club their first ever NRLW decider.
Both these sides met in Round 5 with the Roosters racking up a comfortable win but the Titans haven't recorded a loss since and head to Allianz Stadium with a four-game winning streak.
