The Gold Coast Titans are contemplating a shift in their halves pairing as they prepare for their upcoming match against the Dragons.
AJ Brimson is expected to move to the centres, while Lachlan Ilias is anticipated to step into the starting role at five-eighth.
As reported by Code Sports, this change is under consideration as the Titans aim to rectify their sluggish start to the season, having suffered defeats in their first three games.
Ilias, who signed a two-year contract with the club earlier this year, has appeared in all three matches so far.
Initially, he teamed up with Brimson in the halves while Jayden Campbell dealt with a minor hamstring issue, before transitioning to a bench position last week.
This potential adjustment would see Ilias regain a starting spot alongside Campbell in the halves, allowing Brimson to bolster the backline.
Having joined the Titans after an early release from St George Illawarra, Ilias is eager to make his mark.
At 24 years old, he has been recovering from a tibia injury sustained in 2024, during which he played seven matches before leaving his previous club.
While Brimson has expressed that centre isn't his preferred position, this transition could help maximize his running abilities along the edge while reconfiguring the team's playmaking approach.
Should he receive more opportunities, the switch may ultimately allow Ilias to showcase to former coach Shane Flanagan his capability of leading a halves partnership at the NRL level.
