The biggest crowd of the season is expected to cram into Skilled Park on Friday night when the Gold Coast Titans continue their push for a finals berth in the Queensland derby showdown against the Broncos.
The Titans are sitting 11th after last weekend’s big 38-26 win over the Raiders in Canberra.
A win over the Broncos on Friday night, and next weekend against the Roosters, could see them crack the top eight.
The Titans scored eight tries against the Raiders, with Steve Michaels and William Zillman grabbing doubles.
South Sydney recruit Beau Falloon marked a stellar debut for the club, scoring a try in his first game in Titans colours.
Falloon retains his spot on the interchange bench, alongside forwards Matt White and Ryan James, and late call-up, utility Dominique Peyroux.
Michaels moves from the wing to the centres in a reshuffled backline that sees David Mead return on the flank, and Luke O’Dwyer shift from the backline to lock the scrum.
Nate Myles pushes up to partner Mark Minichiello in the second row, behind co-captain Luke Bailey, Matt Srama and Luke Douglas up front.
Exciting five-eighth Aidan Sezer will continue his breakout season, wearing the No.7 jersey against the Broncos alongside halves partner and co-captain Scott Prince.
