Late mail: Tino to start in NRL return against Bulldogs
Des Hasler has confirmed the Titans will be as per program as they officially welcome back captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui alongside two club debutants for their Sunday afternoon clash against the Bulldogs.
Having ruptured his ACL at Belmore 12 months earlier, the 25-year-old skipper is excited to return after spending the past year on the sidelines, starting from the opening whistle at lock with new recruit Reagan Campbell-Gillard lining up for his first Gold Coast appearance at prop.
Hard-working toiler Brock Gray also gets to live out his NRL dream from the bench in his maiden top grade appearance after 129 NSW Cup games - joining the Titans from South Sydney on a train-and-trial deal over the off-season.
Kick-off is at 6.15pm AEDT (5.15pm AEST) live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
