The last time AJ Brimson wore the No. 1 jersey in Townsville, he helped blow the Cowboys away with two tries in a dominating 44-8 win in 2021.

The Titans fullback will be hoping to replicate a similar performance when he runs out in the Round 4 showdown against North Queensland at Queensland Country Bank Stadium, part of an unchanged 17 they'll field against their state rivals.

The first XXXX derby of 2023 will have quite the Origin flavour with 11 current and former Maroons in action ready to give it all they've got; including five of those wearing Gold Coast colours - Brimson, Phil Sami, Moe Fotuaika, David Fifita and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui.

Think one of the five Queenslanders will cross first? Take advantage of TopSport's five for five special... grouping all five Titans Origin representatives together to score the first try of the match at $5 odds. BET NOW!*

The Titans will be aiming to help even the ledger in what has typically been a tough day out in Townsville, only winning four of the 15 clashes between the combatants at the venue.

They will take confidence in having won three of the last five games against the Cowboys, who are coming off back-to-back losses and a one-point win in their opening three games of the season.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm AEST, live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
