Brimson to change position as spine shake up confirmed
AJ Brimson will return to fullback, with Titans Coach Justin Holbrook tweaking his spine ahead of a clash with reigning premiers Penrith on Friday night.
With Jayden Campbell continuing to make his way back from a rib cartilage injury, Brimson moves to the custodian position, with Will Smith to slot alongside Toby Sexton in the halves.
Herman Ese'ese will play his first game of the season, with the experienced forward named on the interchange bench.
Tanah Boyd also returns to the side for the first time since round one and will take the #14 jersey.
Phillip Sami has been named on the wing and will be hopeful of a return after being a late withdrawal last round through injury.
The Titans will take on the Panthers at Cbus Super Stadium on Friday night, with kickoff at 6pm and tickets still available.
