Late mail: Brimson confirmed to play as Hasler reshuffles 17
AJ Brimson will return as the Titans fullback after overcoming a groin injury, with Des Hasler confirming the final 17 to face the Eels at Cbus Super Stadium.
The 25-year-old’s welcomed inclusion will see Keano Kini adapt a versatile utility role from the bench; whilst Phil Sami has also been elevated to the starting side and will line-up in the centres after missing last week with a calf complaint.

His promotion moves Beau Fermor to the second row and Klese Haas to the bench, with Joe Stimson making way from the final side after the reshuffle.
It will be a special occasion for Jayden Campbell who makes his 50th NRL appearance after missing last Friday's victory against the Sharks with a metacarpal fracture.
His inclusion follows his record-breaking outing at Cbus Super Stadium in Round 16 against the Warriors, with the son of a gun expecting another big name as he resumes playmaker duties.
Kick-off is at 5.30pm; live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
