Locked in: Ex-Bulldog brought into back-line
Aaron Schoupp will return to the Titans' top 17 against his former club when the Titans meet the Bulldogs on Sunday afternoon in Sydney.
Playing in the opening six games for the Gold Coast, the 21-year-old was rested due to a niggling knee injury before coming back via the Hostplus Cup, where he has starred for Tweed over the past fortnight to force his way back into the NRL lineup.
The change will see Alofiana Khan-Pereira move to 18th man and Keano Kini remain on the extended bench for the clash at Accor Stadium, with coach Justin Holbrook opting to rest the 10-game flyer with the depth of talent on hand in the outside backs stocks.
Erin Clark will return after missing last weekend's contest in Newcastle with a finger injury, pushing Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui back to play at Burleigh this weekend, alongside Ken Maumalo and Thomas Mikaele who also fall out of the reserves.
The final 17 will be named one hour ahead of kick-off, which will be at 2pm on Sunday for Indigenous Round.
