Late mail: Hasler reshuffles pack for Sea Eagles showdown
Des Hasler has again called on experienced forward Isaac Liu to start the game with the Titans coach shuffling his pack ahead of the Gold Coast's clash against the Sea Eagles at Cbus Super Stadium.
The change will see David Fifita injected from the bench as an impact player, much like his role against the Raiders which saw the barnstorming backrower make 190 running metres in an impressive 67-minute performance.

The remainder of the side will remain as per program with the former Manly mentor confirming AJ Brimson's move to fullback and Tanah Boyd's recall to the halves on Friday night.
In Hasler's first encounter against the Sea Eagles since joining the Titans in 2024, the two-time premiership-winning coach has won 10 of his 14 games against the club he spent a combined 24 seasons at as player and leader.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm at Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast.
