Coach Andrew Webster has resisted any drastic changes to the NZ Warriors line-up for Sunday's encounter with the surging Sydney Roosters.

Jazz Tevaga is the only new face in the gameday squad, taking his place on the interchange after missing the last three matches due to a hamstring injury.

Kurt Capewell's calf injury sustained in Sunday's loss to Newcastle Knights sees Mitch Barnett shift to the second row, with Bunty Afoa moving into the starting prop role.

Tevaga's return moves Jacob Laban to the extended reserves alongside Freddy Lussick, who is back after serving a four-game suspension.

The Warriors are aiming to snap a four-game winless streak against the Roosters, who are fresh off two big victories in the last two rounds against the Dragons (60-20) and Brisbane (40-18).

Warriors: 1-Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 2-Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, 3-Rocco Berry, 4-Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 5-Marcelo Montoya, 6-Te Maire Martin, 7-Shaun Johnson, 8-Addin Fonua-Blake, 9-Wayde Egan, 10-Bunty Afoa, 11-Jackson Ford, 12-Mitch Barnett, 13-Tohu Harris

Interchange: 14-Dylan Walker, 15-Tom Ale, 16-Jazz Tevaga, 17-Adam Pompey 18-, 20-Taine Tuaupiki, 21- Zyon Maiu'u, 22-Edward Kosi, 23-Freddy Lussick
