Five Titans will look to take centre stage this Thursday as Game I of the Women’s State of Origin kicks off at Suncorp Stadium.

With the fiercest rivalry in the game reigniting, the Gold Coast stars will be strongly represented, with three players donning the Maroon jersey and two in Blue.

Here are the Titans players to watch:

Jaime Chapman - NSW wing

Crowned the NSW women’s player of the year in the 2024 Origin series, Jaime Chapman will return to Suncorp Stadium with unfinished business after last year's series loss to the Harvey Norman Queensland Maroons.

The Titans flyer overcame a back fracture sustained with the Indigenous All Stars in February, targeting a return to representative footy and working tirelessly to put herself in contention for John Strange’s Blues side.

Scoring three tries across her five Origin appearances since debuting in 2023, including a stunning length of the field try in the opening minutes of last year's series opener, the 23-year-old will be ready to showcase her talent in what is set to be an electric three-game Origin series.

Shaylee Bent - NSW 18th player

Although Shaylee Bent isn't guaranteed to feature in the opening clash, the versatile back rower is poised for a potential return to the field in her fourth Origin series, should she be activated.

Initially named in the 2025 Indigenous All Stars side for the annual match against the Māori Ferns, injury prevented Bent from playing in her seventh campaign after undergoing shoulder surgery in December.

Hoping to break into the starting line-up during the three-game series, the 24-year-old will be gunning to create a powerful left-edge pairing with close friend Chapman that is on full display at club level.

Lauren Brown - QLD hooker

After sealing the deal with a pinpoint field goal in the final minutes of Game II in last year's Origin series, it's no surprise to see Brown suiting up once again in Maroon.

Plagued with a string of injuries that saw her miss the Pacific Championships at the end of last season after a hamstring injury against Papua New Guinea, the reigning Dally M halfback of the year will looking to make a strong return to representative footy. 

Jessika Elliston - QLD prop

Racking up 133 run metres in Game I of last year’s series - second only to Maroons halfback Zahara Temara’s 155 - Elliston proved her impact in the forward pack and will be looking to drive her state to another Origin victory.

Having now secured the Maroon jersey in her fourth campaign, the experienced prop is prepared to embody the Queensland spirit, making her a key player to watch come Thursday night.

Sienna Lofipo - QLD second row

After a promising debut marred by injury in last year's series, Titans young gun Sienna Lofipo is ready to return to the Origin stage.

The 19-year-old will be looking to make a bigger impact in her second series, after her maiden campaign was disrupted by a knee injury -  though she still delivered a solid 35-minute stint at lock in Game II.
