Chris Randall will become Titan #181 when he runs out against the Dragons, replacing Jaimin Jolliffe who suffered a torn pec muscle at training this week.

The 27-year-old Newcastle junior will get his first opportunity since joining the Gold Coast over the off-season, playing off the bench in a utility role after the starting front row forward was devastatingly ruled out on Friday.

The injury has forced a slight reshuffle with Erin Clark to start at prop, whilst the remainder of the side remains as per program for Sam Verrills' 50th NRL appearance.

Kieran Foran has been passed fit and will line-up after overcoming his severe knee cork and will link up with David Fifita on the left edge in the edge forward's first game since inking a three-year contract extension earlier this week.

Will the headline heroes find the chalk this weekend? To celebrate Verrills' milestone and Fifita's re-signing, TopSport are pairing the duo together for this week's ultimate Titanic special - offering $2.50 odds for either forwards to score a try. BET NOW!*

Treymain Spry is the 18th man for the clash at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium, with the Titans aiming to make it back-to-back wins away from home to start the season.

Kick-off is at 5.15pm AEST, live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
