Late mail: Fotuaika ruled out, Kini joins 17 against Storm
Moeaki Fotuaika will miss the Gold Coast’s Saturday afternoon clash against the Storm due to family reasons, with the talented forward staying in Queensland for the impending birth of his first child.
Isaac Liu will start in his place with Keano Kini to join the 17 via the interchange bench as the Titans prepare to face Melbourne at AAMI Park.
The only change to the side named on Tuesday by interim head coach Jim Lenihan, the Titans will welcome back Jojo Fifita and Kieran Foran who have replaced injured duo Phil Sami and Jayden Campbell - both ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Versatile forward Chris Randall will also celebrate his 50th NRL appearance in the clash, having played all but two games for his new club in 2023 after joining from the Newcastle Knights.
TopSport is backing the milestone man to find the line in Round 26, offering $11 odds for Randall to score in the first 60 minutes against the Storm. BET NOW!*
Kick-off is at 3pm, live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
