Back-rower turned dynamic No. 9 Sam McIntyre is set to fill the hooking duties for the Titans in their Round 23 clash against the Dragons after Erin Clark was ruled out on Friday with a knee injury.

After the Gold Coast's captain's run on Saturday morning, coach Justin Holbrook confirmed the move after having lost his two frontline dummy-halves to season-ending injuries in the space of a fortnight in extension to Tanah Boyd's move to playmaking duties.

McIntyre's promotion to the starting side will see Jarrod Wallace come from the reserves to the bench; meanwhile, Brian Kelly has been ruled out after an injury saw the strike centre fail to finish training on Thursday.

His omission sees Greg Marzhew back on the wing, shifting Patrick Herbert to centre and Paul Turner comes onto the pine as the side's utility.

The remainder of the side remains unchanged with Corey Thompson and Toby Sexton travelling with the team as reserves.

The final 17 will be named one hour before kick-off.
