Brock Gray will make his long-awaited NRL debut proving persistence pays off, earning a bench position for the Titans when they face the Bulldogs on Sunday night at Belmore.

The 28-year-old joined the Gold Coast on a full-time train-and-trial deal ahead of the 2025 pre-season after 129 NSW Cup appearances, impressing in the pre-season as one of the top trainers which led to call-ups for both trials against the Broncos and Dolphins.

He'll join Reagan Campbell-Gillard as club debutants in the clash - the 221-gamer named to start in his first appearance in Titans colours after making the move from Parramatta.

Jaimin Jolliffe moves to the bench with the experienced prop's inclusion; whilst fellow forward Josiah Pahulu will miss this weekend's contest with Titans medicos taking a precautionary approach following his category one concussion in the recent Redcliffe trial.

The remainder of the side remains as per what started against the Dolphins three weeks ago, which confirms Klese Haas will begin in the back-row with coach Des Hasler shifting David Fifita onto the bench to offer impact through the contest.

Kick-off is at 5.15pm (QLD) on Sunday at Belmore Sports Ground, Sydney.
