Late mail: Titans make forward pack switch for Dolphins derby

The Titans have made a forward pack switch to bolster their bench with Chris Randall to get his opportunity from the opening whistle in the history-making clash against the Dolphins at Cbus Super Stadium.

The move sees the 27-year-old start in the middle third, pushing Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui to the bench in the only change to the 17 ahead of kick-off.

Despite the home side having four Origin stars in AJ Brimson, Tino Fa'asuamaleaui, David Fifita and Moeaki Fotuaika unavailable in Camp Maroon - interim head coach Jim Lenihan has vowed to not use inexperience as an excuse as the Gold Coast chase their eighth win of the season with plenty of extra motivation to avenge their Round 8 loss when the two sides last met.

The missing Queensland quartet has opened the door for a number of young and exciting stars to fill the void - including Jayden Campbell who will ably play an important role in the No. 1 jersey, as well as Klese Haas who returns and will start on the edge; meanwhile, Jojo Fifita and debutant Jacob Alick will both feature off the bench in the clash.

Phil Sami also returns after a hamstring scare in Canberra last Saturday - the flyer hoping to bring up 50 tries in the contest, only two four-pointers away from the milestone.

Kieran Foran will skipper the home side with Keano Kini the 18th man in the battle, which will see three former Titans lining up on the other side of the fence - Jamayne Isaako, Herman Ese'ese and Jarrod Wallace returning to Cbus Super Stadium for the first time since joining the Dolphins.

Kick-off is at 4.05pm, live on Channel 9, 9Now, Fox League and Kayo Sports.
