The team lists for Magic Round are in and it appears Michael Maguire has opted to shake up his halves for the Tigers' must-win clash with the Knights.<\/p>\n

While Adam Doueihi has been one of the few bright spots for the Tigers, who have just two wins to their name this season, Maguire has decided to shift the playmaker into the centres to make way for Moses Mbye, who will join Luke Brooks in the halves.<\/p>\n

Through eight games this season at five-eighth for the Tigers, Doueihi has notched six try assists and has crossed over for three tries.<\/p>\n

In other team news, the Melbourne Storm have been hit with a double injury blow to star five-eighth Cameron Munster and young gun Harry Grant, who will both miss Sunday's match with the Dragons.<\/p>\n

\"Adam<\/p>\n

While Canterbury coach Trent Barrett has officially dropped halfback Kyle Flanagan.<\/p>\n

Flanagan, who started last week's match before being hooked at half-time<\/a>, has been named in the reserves for the Bulldogs' encounter with the Raiders.<\/p>\n
