<p><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nrl/predictions/nrlw-grand-final-tips-2025">The NRLW Grand Final</a> is this Sunday, which means one of the highest individual honours in the women’s game is up for grabs.</p> <p>The NRLW’s equivalent of the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nrl/predictions/clive-churchill-medal-winner-tips-2025">Clive Churchill Medal</a>, the best on ground in the NRLW Grand Final will take home the Karyn Murphy Medal.</p> <p>Due to the NRLW still being in its infancy, this award has only been won seven times, by six different players.</p> <p>That’s right, despite only being around for the last seven seasons, we already have a dual Karyn Murphy Medal winner. After Sunday’s decider we could have a three-time winner, as Brisbane fullback Tamika Upton is to date the only women to win multiple Karyn Murphy Medals.</p> <p>It’s no surprise that she leads the pack in terms of favouritism, while a couple of captains headline the value picks in our “under the radar options”.</p> <p>Looking for expert Karyn Murphy Medal analysis and odds? Check out our Karyn Murphy Medal Winner 2025 Predictions below.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Who Won the Karyn Murphy Medal Last Year?</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Tarryn Aiken</h3> <p>Roosters maestro Tarryn Aiken received the Karyn Murphy Medal last year, after leading her side to a 32-28 victory over Cronulla in last season’s decider.</p> <p>Unfortunately, despite the Chooks returning to the big dance this year, Aiken will be unable to win back-to-back Karyn Murphy Medals, after cruelly tearing her ACL in the final round of the regular season.</p> <p>That means there will be a new winner of the Karyn Murphy Medal in 2025, but who will it be?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Karyn Murphy Medal Winner 2025 Predictions – The Favourites</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Tamika Upton</h3> <p>Unsurprisingly the very, very short favourite Broncos’ fullback Tamika Upton has already won the Karyn Murphy Medal, twice. In fact, she won it back-to-back while playing for the Newcastle Knights in 2022 and 2023.</p> <p>She has also been the best player in the NRLW this season and rightfully&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/nrl/news/james-tedesco-wins-dally-m-medal-2025">took home the Dally M for player of the year earlier in the week</a>.</p> <p>Can she add a third Karyn Murphy Medal and the NRLW trophy to her 2025 season haul? The odds certainly suggest she can.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Olivia Kernick</h3> <p>From one Dally M medallist to another, hard running Rooster and 2024 Player of the Year Olivia Kernick, is the second favourite to take home the Karyn Murphy Medal on Grand Final day.</p> <p>She already knows what it takes to deliver on the biggest stage having been named the Nellie Doherty Medallist for Player of the Series in this year’s Women’s State of Origin.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Jocelyn Kelleher</h3> <p>She kicked the Roosters into the NRLW Grand Final and now Jocelyn Kelleher has her eyes on the premiership and the Karyn Murphy Medal.</p> <p>Her late field goal shot down the Sharks 17-16 and similar heroics here will go a long way to having the Karyn Murphy Medal placed around her neck.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Karyn Murphy Medal Winner 2025 Predictions – Under the Radar Options</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Isabelle Kelly</h3> <p>Kicking off our under the radar options is yet another Rooster. Despite being named both Captain and Centre of the Year at the Dally M Awards this week, Sydney skipper Isabelle Kelly is currently paying well over double digits to win the Karyn Murphy Medal.</p> <p>A truly destructive outside back, Kelly has seven tries in 11 appearances so far this season, and if she adds a few more on Grand Final day she could very well take home Player of the Match honours.</p> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <h3>Ali Brigginshaw</h3> <p>Back to the Broncos to round things off. From one captain to another, Brisbane skipper Ali Brigginshaw is undoubtedly a legend of the women’s game.</p> <p>Despite captaining the Broncos to three premierships, she is yet to win a Karyn Murphy Medal. If she does so on Sunday, It would be a fitting addition to her list of personal achievements, particularly as she has announced, next season will be her last in the NRLW.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Karyn Murphy Medal 2025 Odds</h2>
