Round 3 team: Samoan duo set for return in trip to Tiger town
Fetū Sāmoa duo Sarina Masaga and Laikha Clarke will be welcomed additions for the Titans as they head to Sydney to face the Wests Tigers on Sunday.
The pair return from injury for the must-win clash with Origin star Jaime Chapman also expected to be back in the No. 1 jersey after hamstring tightness kept her out of last week's derby against the Broncos.
The new additions have forced a reshuffle to the starting side with Georgia Grey moving to the wing to accomodate Masaga's inclusion; whilst Lily Patston also shifts back to the wing in place of Kayla Jackson.
Up front, Jasmine Solia has been named in the back-row with Sienna Lofipo to fill Georgia Hale's absence at lock - the captain missing this week due to suspension.
In further changes, Lily Kolc has been promoted to hooker with Taliah Fuimaono relegated to the reserves; meanwhile, Ngatokotoru Arakua is also on the extended bench with Clarke to play her first game of the season from the interchange.
Kick-off is at 11.50am on Sunday - the first of two Titans games at Leichhardt Oval, Sydney.
