Jojo Fifita and Chris Randall will miss the Titans' Sunday afternoon clash against the Bulldogs after succumbing to injury for the final game of the season at Cbus Super Stadium.
Fifita will not be risked in Round 27 after continuing to battle an ankle complaint; meanwhile, Randall will be rested after copping a knock to his shoulder in the Gold Coast's contest against the Storm in Melbourne last weekend.
The duo's omission opens the door for teen sensation Keano Kini to get his opportunity in the backline from the opening whistle, joining Kruise Leeming who has also been promoted to the starting side to fill dummy-half duties.
Joe Vuna and Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui join the interchange bench from the reserves; whilst young guns Josiah Pahulu and Tony Francis remain in the extended squad.
Kick-off is at 2pm on Sunday - the second of two games at Cbus Super Stadium.
