Coach Neil Henry has made just one change to the 17 for the round two clash with Penrith at Carrington Park, Bathurst on Saturday. Second-rower Lachlan Burr will start the match, swapping positions with Matt Robinson who will revert to the bench.
Kiwi prop Agnatius Paasi has retained his position after coming through a trial-for-contract period and making an impressive club debut against Wests Tigers.
The fate of the club’s suspended players was yet to be decided when the side was selected today.
The Titans travel to Sydney tomorrow afternoon, then to Bathurst on Friday.
“I was happy with the intensity of our defence and our enthusiasm against Wests Tigers but our ball control has to improve a lot against a team of the quality of Penrith,” said coach Henry.
“They were fairly comprehensive early against the Bulldogs. They are a very fast team with Jamie Soward very good on the edges and Jamaal Idris dangerous out wide, and Matt Moylan a handful at the back so there is a lot to like about them and we will have to be at our best.”
