The Gold Coast Titans will welcome some new faces into their line-up to take on the Melbourne Storm on Saturday, with two exciting prospects to make their Club debuts.
Jayden Campbell will make both his NRL and Titans debut when he starts at fullback for the clash on the Sunshine Coast.
The 21-year-old who has graduated from the Titans Junior System and development squads and has impressed in 2021 with strong form for the Tweed Seagulls in the Intrust Super Cup.
Campbell's father is Gold Coast legend and former Dally M Medallist Preston Campbell, making the pair the first father-son duo in the Titans history.
Joe Vuna has also been named for his first start in Titans colours, another player rewarded for strong form in the Intrust Super Cup.
Vuna has progressed from a train and trial contract and will play his first NRL game since 2018.
The back-rower played four games for the NZ Warriors, before spending the last two years on a Mormon mission.
