Karyn Murphy has turned to an experienced forward for the final regular game of the season, bringing in Roxy Murdoch for the must-win contest against the Sydney Roosters.

Coming in ahead of April Ngatupuna, the 30-year-old prop has played a number of seasons in the UK Super League, as well as being part of the Brisbane Broncos' squad last season.

Starting from the interchange bench, she'll be called on during the match to continue to keep the middle third a stronghold throughout the contest.

The remainder of the 17 remains as per program, with Evania Pelite once again starting at fullback after an impressive 300 running metres last start against the Eels. Hagiga Mosby is the 18th player.

Kick-off is at 1.55pm, live on Channel 9, Fox League and Kayo.
