Six days on from their first loss of the season, the Titans look to bounce back against the ladder-leading Roosters at home on the Gold Coast.
Although they've managed to overcome having the NRLW's highest error count through the first three weeks, coughing up the ball 15 times hurt them in a 22-10 loss to the Knights, who won despite having a player in the sin bin early in the second half.
But Karyn Murphy's side still remain part of a four-way tie for the competition lead on six points and can return to the top with a win this week and other results going their way.
The Roosters meanwhile registered their second-straight victory by 24 points or more with a 36-12 drubbing of the Sharks, which saw their backline run rampant.
While they sit atop the ladder on points differential, Round 5 presents a chance to possibly move into the outright lead and inflict some damage to one of their nearest rivals in the process.

Titans: A late switch with Brittany Breayley-Nati to start the game at hooker and Lauren Brown to come from the bench.

Destiny Mino-Sinapati replaces Chapman in the centres and Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell is the new face on the bench.
Roosters: No late changes on game day. Mya Hill-Moana comes on to the bench after missing the past fortnight due to a head knock suffered in Round 2. Jayme Fressard (shoulder) will play despite a small issue during last Sunday's win over the Sharks.
