Melbourne has named the same 17 that defeated the Canberra Raiders – however they have named a extended eight-man bench including Ben Hampton, Kenneath Bromwich, Hymel Hunt and Tom Learoyd-Lahrs.
The Roosters have made a number of changes, with Jake Friend getting his first start of the season, which moves Matt McIIwrick to the bench.
Dylan Napa comes into the starting team for the suspended Sam Moa. Sio Siua Taukeiaho will start at lock instead of Isaac Liu, with Lagi Setu joining the bench.
Willie Manu has been picked as the 18th man.
