The Titans will return to Ipswich after a 14-year break, facing the Parramatta Eels in week two of the pre-season challenge on Sunday, February 25.
Confirmed with the release of the 2024 trials draw on Friday, it will culminate a fortnight of footy to kick-off the new season with the Gold Coast first meeting the Dolphins in the Sunshine Showdown at Sunshine Coast Stadium on Sunday, February 18.
'Switch City' has been a happy hunting ground for the Gold Coast in their previous visit against the Broncos in 2010, triumphantly defeating them 52-0 with the likes of former stars Shannon Walker, Joseph Tomane and Ryan James lighting up Briggs Road.
