LeagueNews.co | Nick Loken

The Titans are shaking things up ahead of their showdown with the Melbourne Storm, with young gun Josiah Pahulu getting the call-up to the starting side in a surprise pack shuffle.

Coach Des Hasler is looking to inject some energy into his team as they aim for back-to-back wins.

Pahulu, just 20 years old and with only four appearances under his belt, will be looking to make his mark from the opening whistle.

Joe Stimson has been relegated to the bench in the only change for the Titans.

In more good news for the Titans, Phil Sami has been given the all-clear to return from injury and will take his place on the wing.

Harley Smith-Shields is also back in action after missing last week's game.

The Titans will be drawing on their previous success against the Storm, with a thrilling 38-34 victory at Cbus Super Stadium in 2023 still fresh in their minds.

They'll be hoping to replicate that performance on Saturday night.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm, so make sure to tune in on Fox League or Kayo Sports for all the action.

It's sure to be a showdown filled with sporting cliches and Aussie slang, as these two teams battle it out on the rugby league field.
