Late mail: Huge occasion for milestone man against Tigers
The Titans will be as per program as Phil Sami embarks on a special milestone in the Titans' Thursday night tussle against the Tigers.
Playing his 100th NRL game - all for the Gold Coast - the flyer will lead out the team at Cbus Super Stadium with his two young sons Velzy and Woody as his side welcomes back one of his close mates, AJ Brimson.
One of four new faces coming into the line-up for the matchup, the experienced star regains his coveted No. 1 jersey for the clash, with a full focus of helping the Titans get back in the winner’s circle in his first game back since Round 9.
There is plenty of interest in Brimson's return, none more than with TopSport punters; the electrifying fullback featuring as this week's Titanic special with $3 odds to score in the opening 60 minutes. BET NOW!*
Jaimin Jolliffe will also return and add plenty of grit off the interchange bench after rupturing his pec on the eve of Round 2, set to take on the only team he's faced in 2023 being the Tigers - where he was part of a determined 22-10 victory to open the season.
Brian Kelly has also been confirmed to start in the centres, pushing Jojo Fifita to 18th man duties; meanwhile a one-match ban to Chris Randall brings Kruise Leeming back in the 17 with Sam Verrills to start the match with the hooking duties.
Kick-off is at 7.50pm at Cbus Super Stadium, live on Channel 9, Fox League and Kayo Sports.
