A new rivalry between Titans teammates will be born in 2024 with Cbus Super Stadium to host the inaugural clash set to feature in the Hostplus Cup.
As revealed in Wednesday's release of the 2024 QRL draw, Gold Coast affiliate Tweed Seagulls will face off against new club feeder team Ipswich Jets as a curtain-raiser to the Titans' Round 7 clash against the Manly Sea Eagles on Saturday, April 20.
The encounter will be the first time the two will square off against each other since the Jets joined as an affiliate, with a number of NRL stars set to star in both line-ups for the clash.
Kicking off just after 3pm, it will be one of two Hostplus Cup games at Cbus Super Stadium in 2024, with the Seagulls to also host Souths Logan ahead of Round 19 against the Eels.

The expanded BMD Premiership competition will commence on Saturday, March 2; with the regular season to be completed ahead of Origin Game I at Suncorp Stadium on May 16.
