It's time for Round 2 of the 2025 NRL Women's Premiership as the Sharks take on the Cowboys on Saturday at the Sharks Stadium in Sydney.
After a shocking loss to the Eels in Round 1, the Sharks bounced back with a dominant 56-6 victory over the Raiders. Fullback Emma Verran has been in fine form and is currently one of the most dangerous players in NRLW -- she scored four tries last week.
The Cowboys are 1-1 and had contrasting results to start the season. They defeated the Titans 20-6 in the opening round and then suffered a 26-6 defeat at the hands of the Knights in Round 2.
They must bounce back quickly but will be wary of the Sharks, whom they have never beaten in NRLW so far, losing both of their previous meetings.
