Late mail: Surprise pack shuffle ahead of Storm showdown

Energising youngster Josiah Pahulu has been promoted to the starting side in the only change made by Titans coach Des Hasler ahead of their clash against the Melbourne Storm on Saturday night.

In what will be his fifth appearance since making his debut in Round 5; the 20-year-old will get his first chance in his rising career to begin from the opening whistle, with Joe Stimson pushed back to the bench in the only swap ahead of kick-off.

Phil Sami has been given the green light for his return from a syndesmosis injury and will line-up on the wing, with Harley Smith-Shields also cleared after missing last week's Anzac Day win after withdrawing late in the warm-up.

The Titans will be aiming for back-to-back wins after returning from New Zealand with the two points, taking confidence from the last time they faced the Storm at Cbus Super Stadium - winning 38-34 in Round 3, 2023.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm, live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
