Late mail: Titans young guns ready to bring Magic against Eels
Jayden Campbell can't wait to bring his magic spark from the opening whistle against Parramatta with the Titans young gun to don the No. 1 jersey at Suncorp Stadium.
Dominating last year's corresponding fixture against the Dragons with a staggering 266 running metres and an incredible 13 tackle busts, the 23-year-old Gold Coast live-wire will replace AJ Brimson at fullback for the clash, which will also feature Kieran Foran who will start in his 270th NRL game after overcoming a toe injury to play.
Schoolboy sensation Keano Kini will be unleashed at some stage throughout the match, with the 19-year-old replacing Kruise Leeming on the interchange bench as announced on Saturday, with the former Leeds Rhinos captain to again assume 18th man duties for the Round 10 affair.
With this being the only personnel change from last Saturday's emphatic victory against the Sea Eagles, the Gold Coast are motivated to notch up their fifth victory of the season to secure back-to-back wins against the Eels who the Titans haven't defeated since 2017.
One player especially hungry to bank the two points is David Fifita who is coming into the contest fresh from a man of the match performance against Manly; monstering 185 metres, five tackle breaks and an offload... as well as breaking his try-scoring drought with a powerful four-pointer in the 30th minute.
Official Titans wagering partner TopSport feel the talented forward is due to score again in today's Magic Round showdown, offering $5 odds for Fifita to score a try in the first hour of today's contest. BET NOW!*
Kick-off is at 6.25pm, live on Fox League and Kayo Sports.
