The Titans are ready to go for their season opener this Sunday, keeping an unchanged 1-17 for their clash against the Bulldogs.

Having to sit back and watch every team play two games before their first, it can't be understated how hungry Gold Coast are to run out at Belmore and get their 2025 campaign off to a good start after an impressive final trial against the Dolphins.

Based in Sydney to complete preparations this week with the club's Parkwood facility impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, coach Des Hasler believes it hasn't been an inconvenience to relocate given the situation and circumstances for the remainder of the South East Queensland who were also affected.

Welcoming back captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui who will make his return to the NRL formally, the only change ahead of game day is the skipper's younger brother Iszac who remains in the extended squad which has been reduced 24 hours out.

Arama Hau, Tom Weaver and Tony Francis are the three players cut with both Weaver and Francis returning to Queensland for Hostplus Cup duties.

Kick-off is at 6.15pm AEDT (5.15pm QLD) on Sunday at Belmore Sports Ground.
