The Gold Coast Titans will welcome back a host of big-names for Saturday’s clash against the New Zealand Warriors at Lismore’s Oakes Oval.
David Fifita and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui will both wear the Titans jersey for the first time, with the Queensland Origin stars both named to make their Club debut in the match.
Also turning out for the first time as a Titan will be Patrick Herbert, who will back up after playing for the Maori All Stars side in Townsville last weekend.
Herbert and Sam Lisone will both come up against former team-mates, with the Warriors also naming a strong side for the pre-season clash.
It’s a return home to the northern rivers for Anthony Don and Brian Kelly, with both relishing the chance to play in front of family and friends.
Don (Grafton) and Kelly (Ballina) will take their place in the Titans backline, which will also feature Corey Thompson, AJ Brimson and Ash Taylor.
Herbert, Fifita, Kelly, Thompson, Jamal Fogarty and Tyrone Peachey will all get more pre-season game time after playing in the All Stars match last weekend, while Greg Marzhew, Toby Sexton, Jai Whitbread, Beau Fermor, Sam Stone, Tanah Boyd, Erin Clark and Treymain Spry will get a second chance to impress after playing in the trial match against the Burleigh Bears.
Tickets are still on sale for the match via visitlismore.com.au.
