The Sydney Roosters are proud to announce the line up for Sunday afternoon's semi final match against the Parramatta Eels at Suncorp Stadium.

The Roosters will look to qualify for their fourth NRLW Grand Final in their bid to retain the Premiership trophy when they take on the fourth-placed Eels on Sunday afternoon at 3:50pm.

After claiming the 2022 Minor Premiership, the Tricolours are the only undefeated side in the 2022 competition following their 38-12 defeat of the Gold Coast Titans last Sunday with five wins to their name.

Roosters Members and supporters will be able to watch four Rugby League matches at Suncorp Stadium, with the two NRLW semi finals followed by the two Prime Minister's XIII matches.

Bremner returns to the no.1 jersey following Jada Taylor's debut performance, while Tufuga has been named on the wing in place of Shannon Rose, with Jessica Sergis, Captain Isabelle Kelly and Jayme Fressard rounding off the backline.

Zahara Temara rekindles her partnership with McGregor in the halves, while Sarah Togatuki, two-try hero Destiny Brill and Hill-Moana make up the front row, with Shaniah Power, Olivia Kernick and Keilee Joseph rounding off the starting side.

The Roosters will face Parramatta for the third time in NRLW history and will be looking to build off their dominant 38-16 Round 1 result to string together three consecutive wins over the Eels.
