Titans Locked In: Fifita Out, Fa’asuamaleaui In for Warriors Clash Gold Coast Titans have locked in their team for Round 24 of the 2024 NRL season, with David Fifita ruled out due to a foot injury while Patrick Fa’asuamaleaui makes his return from suspension. Fifita a Big Loss Fifita has been a key player for the Titans this season, scoring six tries in 17 games. His absence will be a significant blow to their hopes of victory against the Warriors. Fa’asuamaleaui Returns However, the Titans have been boosted by the return of Fa’asuamaleaui, who has served a one-match suspension. The 23-year-old forward is one of the Titans’ most dangerous attackers and his inclusion will give them a much-needed boost. Other Changes The Titans have also made a few other changes to their lineup. AJ Brimson has been shifted from fullback to the wing, with Jayden Campbell taking over the number one jersey. Herman Ese’ese has been dropped to the reserves, with Sam McIntyre coming into the starting lineup. Warriors to Field Strong Team The Warriors will also field a strong team for the clash, with Reece Walsh, Shaun Johnson, and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak all named in the starting lineup. Head-to-Head Record The Titans have a slight edge in the head-to-head record against the Warriors, having won 11 of their 20 meetings. However, the Warriors won the last encounter between the two teams in 2022. Key Matchup The key matchup in this game will be Fa’asuamaleaui against the Warriors’ formidable pack. Fa’asuamaleaui will need to have a big impact if the Titans are to overcome the Warriors. Prediction The Titans will be tough to beat at home, but the Warriors have a lot of quality in their side. This is a game that could go either way, but I’m giving the Titans a narrow edge.Gold Coast Titans Make Late Changes Ahead of Warriors ClashGold Coast Titans Make Late Changes Ahead of Warriors Clash Gold Coast Titans star Jojo Fifita has been ruled out of Saturday’s NRL clash against the New Zealand Warriors due to the flu, prompting a reshuffling of the outside defense.
