Gold Coast Titans NRLW coach Karyn Murphy has made a late switch ahead of kick-off, moving strike weapon Evania Pelite to fullback in a bid to help take down Parramatta in Melbourne.
With the Olympic Gold Medallist and Titans marquee in the centres for the opening three rounds, the Gold Coast mentor is hoping the swap with Apii Nicholls will add an extra spark in her side's attack in the Round 4 clash against the Eels, needing the two competition points to remain in contention for finals footy.
Zara Canfield will also be welcomed back with open arms following a week off due to suspension, starting in the back-row alongside Tiana Raftstrand-Smith after an ankle injury continues to keep Tazmin Gray on the sidelines.
The rest of the team remains as per program with Roxy Murdoch the 18th player for the clash.
Kick-off is at 1.05pm, live on Channel 9, Fox League and Kayo.
