Round 12 team: Powerful flyer to make NRL debut in Indigenous Round

Young flyer Tony Francis will make his NRL debut on Sunday as the Titans face the Broncos at the home of the Yuggera and Turrbal Peoples in Brisbane.

In one of two changes made for the Macca's Local Derby, the 21-year-old Future Titans graduate will play his first game on the wing, with Jojo Fifita moving to the centres following Aaron Schoupp's mid-season switch to the Sea Eagles.

Rising rookie Josiah Pahulu is also on the move, promoted to starting prop in place of Jaimin Jolliffe, who has been sidelined with a pec injury.

Joe Stimson joins the bench to bolster the forward pack rotation; whilst Kieran Foran has been named in the extended reserves and will be given every opportunity to prove his fitness after missing last Saturday's game due to a minor hamstring strain.

Celebrating Indigenous Round, the Titans will wear a special jersey designed by Alofiana Khan-Pereira's mother Sylvia Khan, depicting the journey of young Titans making their way to first grade with the club - find out more here.

Kick-off is on Sunday at 2pm at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane.
