Unfortunately for the side from the glitter strip, they are light on troops for this trip. The Titans have lost Agnatius Paasi (ankle), Ryan Simpkins (ACL) and Dave Taylor (suspension).
In their place captain Nate Myles returns at prop for Paasi, Matt Robinson replaces Simpkins on the bench while Lachlan Burr will start for Taylor. Eddy Pettybourne comes onto the bench after completing his one-week suspension.
The Warriors have tried to shake things up to change their poor performances. Konrad Hurrell and Albert Vete have been dropped and replaced by David Fusitu’a and Sam Rapira.
Dominique Peyroux also drops back to 18th man with debutant Raymond Faitala-Mariner named on the bench.
