Other co-captain De Berry has been dropped, alongside Sarah Poustie, Brooke Barwick and Lou Stephenson.
Gold Coast has been boosted by the return of Clara Fitzpatrick (foot), Dekota Baron (head knock) and All-Australian squad members Daisy D'Arcy (concussion) and Ava Usher (suspension), while key back Charlotte Wilson will play her first match for the year, having overcome a long-term foot injury.
