Round 15 team: Experienced Titan bolsters backline to tame Tigers
Phil Sami is set to bolster the Titans' backline with the experienced campaigner passed fit and ready for a return against the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval.
A late withdrawal from last Saturday's showdown against the Rabbitohs after being named to come back from a hamstring strain, the extra week's recovery has ensured the 113-gamer will line-up after spending the last month on the sidelines.
Sami's inclusion is the only change to the 17 that faced South Sydney, with Beau Fermor returning to the back-row and Jacob Alick-Wiencke moving back to the extended bench; whilst Klese Haas has been named at lock, pushing Keenan Palasia back to the pine.
The Titans will also join in the NRL's competition-wide 'Beanies for Brain Cancer' initiative in Round 15, running out this Saturday in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation.
Kick-off is at 3pm on Saturday at Leichhardt Oval, Sydney.
