Late mail: Hasler opts for familiar switch ahead of Anzac Day clash
New Zealand International Isaac Liu will again start at lock as Des Hasler enacts his familiar forward pack switch for the Anzac Day clash against the Warriors in New Zealand.
Liu - one of nine Titans who played a part in the Gold Coast's last meeting at Go Media Stadium in 2022 - will begin the all-important occasion from the opening whistle for the fifth time this season, with David Fifita utilised as a strike weapon off the bench for the third-straight game, offering plenty of impact when he is injected.

The remainder of the side remains as per program, with the visitors hoping to repeat history after winning their only previous Anzac Day match in 2015, downing the Warriors 32-28.
As part of Anzac Round commemorations, the Gold Coast will pay tribute to Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG and the Currumbin RSL by wearing a specially-designed warm-up tee, and club strapper and Vietnam veteran Darrell Madge will lead the Titans out in the clash.
Kick-off is at 4pm NZST (2pm QLD), live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
