The Titans are facing a setback as they announce that powerhouse forward David Fifita will be sidelined for their upcoming clash against the Wests Tigers.
The Gold Coast team is gearing up for their trip to Sydney, but without Fifita in the lineup, they will have to adapt their game plan.
Taking a cautious approach, the club has decided to give Fifita some rest to recover from a minor ankle injury.
However, they are hopeful that he will be back on the field for the next game against the Warriors at home.
In his absence, Klese Haas will step up to the edge and Erin Clark will take on the starting lock role.
Jacob Alick-Wiencke will also make a return to the bench in the final lineup change made just 24 hours before kick-off.
The Titans have a good track record against the Tigers, having won 10 out of their last 12 meetings.
Leichhardt Oval has been a happy hunting ground for the Gold Coast, with four victories out of their five previous matches at the venue.
Their most recent triumph was in Round 1 last year, where they secured a 22-10 win.
The stage is set for an exciting showdown as the Titans and Tigers face off once again.
Kick-off is scheduled for 3pm on Saturday, June 15.
It's sure to be a battle worth watching for all Rugby League fans.
