Gold Coast Titans captain Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will start from the bench in the Macca's Local Derby clash against the Broncos with Justin Holbrook making the late switch ahead of kick off.

Backing up from an incredible Origin performance in Maroon playing a monumental 56 minutes to help Queensland defeat New South Wales 22-12, the skipper will play an impact role from the pine, opening the door for Erin Clark to begin at lock after the Titans coach earlier this week outlined his plan for the talented ball-player moving forward in the new middle third role.

The Gold Coast will also see two new players make history, with Jojo Fifita and Aaron Booth making their club debuts in the highly-anticipated contest - the clash being 19-year-old flyer Fifita's first game in the NRL.

The Gold Coast will hope to square the ledger against the Broncos when the rivalry reignites at 7.35pm.
