Late mail: Murphy shuffles backline with Masaga cleared for return

Karyn Murphy has reshuffled her back five with Sarina Masaga's inclusion for the Titans' elimination final against the Knights in Newcastle.

The Samoan International has been cleared of concussion and will line-up in the centres, shifting Georgia Grey to the wing and Phoenix-Raine Hippi to the bench.

In the other pre-game change made by the Gold Coast coach, Brittany Breayley-Nati will start at hooker, pushing Lily Kolc back to the bench - the remainder of the side remains as per program.

A big occasion with the finals showdown also captain Georgia Hale's 50th NRLW appearance, the visitors will not only have their loss a fortnight ago against the Novocastrians in the back of their mind, but their grand final defeat in 2023 as they aim to seek revenge in their first finals meeting since that fateful day.

Kick-off is at 2.30pm, live on Channel 9, 9 Now, Fox League and Kayo Sports.
