Karyn Murphy has turned to youth for Saturday's showdown in Sydney with emerging prop Fanua Rimoni to debut against the Bulldogs.

One of three changes in Gold Coast's first away game of the season, the 18-year-old replaces Jess Elliston who has been ruled out with a MCL injury with Rimoni earning a starting opportunity after being recently promoted to the top 24 following an impressive pre-season.

Lily Patston replaces Destiny Mino-Sinapati at fullback - the Maroons No. 1 also sidelined with a MCL strain - whilst Dragons recruit Indie Bostock has been named on the bench in place of Lailani Montgomery.

Lily Kolc has also been cleared to play after receiving a warning by the match review committee following her dangerous contact sin-bin against the Roosters; again to start on the bench with captain Georgia Hale to begin the clash at hooker.

The visitors will be craving conviction after their muddy match-up against the Bulldogs last season resulted in a historic NRLW draw and hope to do so to bounce back after their gritty loss to last year's grand finalists at the weekend.

Kick-off is at 3.15pm on Saturday at Accor Stadium, Sydney.
