Late mail: Clarke to start as Murphy enacts successful switch
Laikha Clarke has been promoted to start in the front row with Karyn Murphy again opting to shuffle her forward pack ahead of the Titans' Magic Round clash against the Bulldogs in Newcastle.
Working wonders against the Warriors in New Zealand; captain Georgia Hale moves to hooker with Lily Kolc shifting back to the bench, whilst Sienna Lofipo reverts to lock and Takoda Thompson to the interchange in the change-up.
A historic clash for Gold Coast having never faced the newest NRLW franchise, Murphy's side will be aiming to notch up three wins in a row after back-to-back victories in the past fortnight - the two points likely to jettison them into the top six at the completion of this weekend.
Kick-off is at 12.15pm; live on Channel 9, 9Now, Fox League and Kayo Sports.
