Three key pieces of the Titans NRLW puzzle have confirmed their home on the Gold Coast, re-signing until the end of the 2026 season.

Sienna Lofipo, Laikha Clarke and Sarina Masaga have all penned new deals as they chase premiership success on the Coast.

All three will play for Samoa in the Pacific Championships on Saturday against Fiji, looking to make it two wins from two starts after defeating Tonga in week one of the competition.

Switching to lock during her time with the Wynnum-Manly Seagulls, Lofipo made her Queensland Maroons debut in Game II before sustaining a PCL injury which ruled her out for the opening four rounds of the NRLW.

Despite a tough season with injury, Titans coach Karyn Murphy says she’s eager to see Lofipo back fully fit in 2025.

Sienna Lofipo sets up thrilling finish

“Sienna has had her challenges with injuries this season, but I’m really excited to have her grow with us as a Titan for the next two seasons,” Murphy said.

“She has gained so much experience at such a young stage of her career and its testament to her attitude to want to continually get better every day.

“Having graduated from our Future Titans pathway, it’s important to keep our homegrown talent on the Gold Coast and it’s great Sienna wants to remain at the Titans long-term.”

Clarke adds power to the Titans engine room, with the key middle playing an important role off the bench throughout the 2024 season.

Her strong form and impact earned the 23-year-old a maiden call-up the Fetu Samoa squad - making her International debut against Fiji in the opening round of the Pacific Championships.

“It’s important to keep the momentum going with your bench players and Laikha offers that and more - going out there with a big desire to keep the energy levels high and provide a spark from the interchange,” Murphy said.

“Laikha worked extremely hard to get back playing consistent footy at the top grade and she is an important cog to our engine room alongside the likes of Shannon (Mato), Jess (Elliston) and Georgia (Hale).”

For Masaga, 2025 is a graduation from the Titans development list to the top squad.

The outside back featured prominently in final three games of the Titans’ most recent campaign to earn selection in Wide World of Sport’s rookie team of the year, which also led to representative honours with Samoa.

The 19-year-old impressed on debut scoring a double at right centre in the Pacific Championships clash against Fiji. 

“Sarina showed plenty of promise and potential in her first year of NRLW and I’m pleased to see her remain on the Gold Coast and joining our top-24 next season,” Murphy said.
