The Titans will have their courageous captain, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, back from suspension for their upcoming match against the Raiders.
Fa'asuamaleaui has been impressive since returning from injury, averaging 154 running metres and 32 tackles per game.
Coach Des Hasler has made two changes to the team, with Fa'asuamaleaui replacing Brock Gray and Jojo Fifita returning on the wing.
David Fifita has also been promoted to the starting side after a strong performance in the previous game.
Kick-off for the match is at 2pm on Sunday at Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast.
"In one of two changes made by coach Des Hasler, the captain will replace Brock Gray who will miss this weekend's clash due to a Grade 2 Careless High Tackle - coming straight back into the starting side with Chris Randall moving back to the bench."
"It's been an incredible first month for Fa'asuamaleaui after missing all but the entirety of the 2024 season with an ACL injury; averaging 154 running metres - 58 of those post-contact - and 32 tackles across 59 minutes per game since his return in Round 2."
"In other team news, Jojo Fifita will resume his place on the wing, pushing Phil Sami to the centres and Beau Fermor to the edge in a reshuffle following the flyer's unavailability the past fortnight due to a cork."
"David Fifita has also earned the call-up to the starting side after his strong performance against the Dragons, with Klese Haas shifting to the pine alongside Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui, who returns to the 17 via the bench to bolster the forward rotation."
"Kick-off is at 2pm on Sunday at Cbus Super Stadium, Gold Coast."
