Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will make his long-awaited return from the opening whistle; meanwhile, there will be a new halves pairing for Saturday night's final trial against the Dolphins at Kayo Stadium.

In one of six changes to the starting 13 made by Titans coach Des Hasler ahead of kick-off, the skipper will begin at lock; whilst Jayden Campbell has also been promoted to the starting side at halfback alongside AJ Brimson in a new-look playmaking partnership, pushing Kieran Foran to the bench with the veteran expecting to play a new role in 2025.

Fellow All Stars representatives Keano Kini (fullback) and Brian Kelly (centre) will also start with Jojo Fifita moving back to the wing, although Alofiana Khan-Pereira is a late withdrawal with the flyer unable to overcome the flu for the clash.

Up front, Klese Haas will start in the back-row together with Beau Fermor - pushing David Fifita back to the bench - whilst Chris Randall also drops back to the pine in place of Fa'asuamaleaui.

Kick-off is at 6.30pm (QLD); live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
