Late mail: Fifita to start in forward switch for Cowboys derby

Damaging edge forward David Fifita will be injected into Sunday's XXXX Derby from the opening whistle with Des Hasler making a late switch of the forward pack against the Cowboys.

The change will see Klese Haas shift to lock, with Erin Clark moving back to the bench in what will be a special occasion for four Titans who celebrate important achievements in the clash.
