Gold Coast Titans captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will be a much-valued inclusion for this Saturday's Macca's Local Derby with the inspirational leader set to back-up from his stirring Origin performance on Wednesday night.
Bringing plenty of intensity, aggression and passion to the Maroons over his 56 minutes on field, the skipper returned to Titans HQ on Friday to lead the captain's run, grinning from ear-to-ear as an Origin champion, hoping his enthusiasm and energy will be infectious to help his side get up for the contest against the Broncos.
There has also been plenty of motivation gained from Jojo Fifita's emotional jersey presentation by proud parents Pila and Amy, as the 19-year-old young gun prepares to make his debut on the wing.

Northern Rivers junior Aaron Booth will also make his club debut named to start at hooker.
The home side intend to go into the clash unchanged with Greg Marzhew, Brian Kelly and Kevin Proctor dropping out of the extended team confirmed for the M1 derby.
The final 17 will be named one hour before kick-off.
Be there for the next instalment of the famous Macca's Local Derby as the rivalry re-ignites at Cbus Super Stadium this Saturday, July 16. Secure your seat today!
