The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for Friday night's Round 3 NRLW match against the St George Illawarra Dragons at Allianz Stadium.

The Roosters and Dragons will create history as they officially open Allianz Stadium in the first sporting event at the new venue, which will also double up as the first meeting between the sides since the 2021 NRLW Grand Final back in April.

John Strange's side will be looking to become the first Roosters outfit in NRLW history to win their first three matches in a season, building off their strong opening two outings against the Parramatta Eels and Brisbane Broncos respectively.

In their sixth meeting with the Dragons since 2018, the Red, White and Blue will be looking to claim a fourth victory following their 16-4 Premiership triumph.

No changes have been made to the side following the 28-8 defeat of the Broncos last Saturday as the Roosters look to claim their third win of the season.

Sam Bremner reprises her role at fullback to take on her former side, with Leianne Tufuga, Jessica Sergis, Captain Isabelle Kelly and Jayme Fressard joining her in the backline.

On the interchange bench, Jocelyn Kelleher, Shawden Burton, Pani Hopoate and Otesa Pule have been named, with Joeli Morris as 18th player.

The extended bench features Samantha Economos, Chante Temara, Jada Taylor and Jasmin Strange.
